Online support
How his approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and trust. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new, more supported ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thought and behavior patterns and uses clear exercises to change those patterns and reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. Over time the approach can shift as progress is made or as new concerns arise.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for easier check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, focused coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to fit therapy into a busy life.
