Therapeutic Approaches Applied in Online Sessions

Tal Raven integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work to help clients clarify personal values, learn practical ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that support meaningful change. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach supports people struggling with intimacy, trust, abandonment, or recurring relationship conflicts by identifying patterns and developing new relational skills.

Tal also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and coping difficulties. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing symptoms and building healthier routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tal Raven works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier for clients to connect with licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel, and they help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
