Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Promise Igba
Promise integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his work. ACT helps clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility by learning practical ways to accept difficult emotions while taking steps toward a meaningful life - useful for anxiety, stress, and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence current relationships and helps clients build safer, more connected ways of relating - helpful for relationship conflict, attachment issues, and family dynamics. CBT identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches skills to shift those patterns - effective for anxiety, panic, low mood, and self-critical thinking.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Promise works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and practical needs and then adapts methods from these therapies to suit the individual or couple, making adjustments as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, skills-based work as well as relational and trauma-informed support depending on client needs.
