Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and bonding formed in relationships and can help with intimacy issues, relationship conflict, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and patterns that contribute to addiction.
Maliheh approaches the choice of method collaboratively - she will work with each person to determine which combination of techniques best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process and adjustments can be made as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family commitments, continue therapy during life transitions, and stay connected when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to be effective in remote formats while maintaining a focus on the client’s goals.
