Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them and then take valued action - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings of safety, closeness, and trust; it is often helpful for relationship problems, codependency, and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and can be effective for mood, anxiety, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Sheldon collaborates with each person to explore which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the pace and style of sessions as therapy unfolds. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in shaping their care.
Online therapy allows people to meet with licensed professionals from home or another convenient place, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to access support across different locations, while still allowing for focused, goal-oriented therapeutic work.
