Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Tilaya Bradford-Hollins

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small, practical steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that arise from early relationships, exploring how those attachment styles influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for abandonment concerns, intimacy issues, and relationship repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop healthier coping strategies, commonly applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and problem-solving in daily life.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Tilaya works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts interventions from these approaches to create a personalized plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone and can also include live chat or text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from familiar settings, while still receiving focused, effective therapeutic support.
