Approaches for Online Therapy and Therapeutic Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward values-driven goals. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that feel stuck.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections. By exploring attachment styles and relational histories, this approach supports people working through trust, intimacy, abandonment, and family dynamics.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, giving the client space to set the pace and direction of treatment while the therapist provides validation and support. It can help those seeking greater self-understanding and confidence in decision-making.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shawndre Leydon works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while focusing on effective, personalized care.
