Online support
Attachment and Acceptance Approaches Online
Rajan blends attachment-based therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address relationship patterns and emotional struggle. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people notice and change repeating patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them.He also uses client-centered methods that keep the conversation focused on each person's experience and goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when connection and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief reflections, check-ins between sessions, or when typing helps people organize thoughts. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
