Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Sarah frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus, attending to how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses. It supports people working on relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief related to loss or separation, and issues around abandonment or adoption.
Sarah also uses client-centered principles that prioritize the person s perspective, empathy, and strengths, creating a collaborative environment where goals are shaped by the client s own values and needs. She works with each person to determine which methods fit best rather than prescribing a single model.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process - Sarah collaborates with clients to explore options, adjust strategies over time, and identify what best supports their goals and preferences. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this collaborative work. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when needed, phone sessions provide a convenient option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing check-ins and flexible scheduling. Together these formats increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain consistent progress while balancing daily life.
