Approaches Dabney names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions use conversations and exercises to help people notice patterns and build more supported ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match values. It can help with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and struggles with self-worth.

Dabney uses a collaborative approach to decide which methods fit best. She will work with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Choosing an approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.

Online therapy with Dabney is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter updates, coping tools between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and simpler to fit into a busy life.
