Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Crawford draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to address emotional pain, relationship struggles, and life transitions. ACT emphasizes building psychological flexibility by clarifying personal values and learning practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals - this approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, avoidance, and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence intimacy, abandonment concerns, and communication in adult relationships. It helps people and couples understand underlying attachment styles and develop more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Crawford works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver evidence-informed care while supporting accessibility and convenience for clients.
