Therapeutic approaches to use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to you and small steps to live by those values, which can help with anxiety, depression and major life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness. This approach can help people understand recurring relationship difficulties and build healthier ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. Sessions are collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction when it helps, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, coaching-style support or times when writing feels clearer. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
