Online support

How attachment and ACT translate to online care

Rebecca combines Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered work to help people address relationships, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people try new ways of relating. ACT focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed steps toward meaningful goals. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Rebecca will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches together to see what fits best. She adapts methods over time based on what helps the individual make progress and feel more equipped to manage challenges.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when convenient, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
