Online support
Attachment and action-oriented care online
Dr. Shay integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people build safer ways of relating. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people notice thoughts and take steps that match what matters to them.He treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. Together the therapist and client review goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find a fit instead of sticking to a single technique.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work on interaction and emotion. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and geographic limits.
