Online support

How attachment work and practical therapies fit online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape today's reactions. Online sessions let clients talk through relationship patterns and attachment concerns from wherever they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify values and take committed steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present.

Milliann treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. If an approach isn’t working, adjustments are made collaboratively so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, family, or medical schedules while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
