Blending ACT and Attachment Work for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation, and when someone wants to build a more value-driven life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect present connections and emotional responses, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and challenges rooted in abandonment or attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathetic, non-judgmental space where the person’s own insights and strengths lead the pace of change, often supporting self-esteem, confidence, and coping with loss.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sylvia works collaboratively with people to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the selection of tools and techniques as a shared exploration, adapting the approach as the work unfolds.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These options support continuity of care across distances, allow for varied communication styles, and help people access licensed professionals and therapists from locations that suit them.
