Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Pamela Collins integrates several evidence-based approaches to guide online therapy in ways that fit each person's situation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and close connections, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and family conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and mood, which can support work on depression, anxiety, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pamela works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which combination of methods best matches a person’s goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts her style as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during transitions, and try different formats until the arrangement feels right for the individual.
