Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sydney often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and supports taking values-guided actions to create a more meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for the client’s perspective, helping individuals build confidence and self-understanding in a nonjudgmental way.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when relationship patterns and early connection experiences are central to a person’s concerns. This approach explores how past bonds influence current relationships and offers ways to develop healthier, more secure connections with others.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Sydney collaborates with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Online therapy makes that collaborative work flexible - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home, work, or while traveling. This format supports consistent engagement and makes it easier to integrate therapy into everyday life.
