Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Luke integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to identify values-driven actions that support meaningful change - this approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and motivation concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses, making it useful for intimacy-related issues, family conflicts, and attachment concerns.

Jungian-informed work draws on archetypal themes and symbolic exploration to deepen self-understanding and address issues of identity, purpose, and internal conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Luke collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting direction as the work evolves.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can engage in therapy in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals when in-person visits are not feasible.
