Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build new ways of coping, useful for stress, sleeping problems and low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections influence present-day responses. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, trust or intimacy-related issues by exploring relational habits and developing safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that blends approaches as required rather than relying on one fixed model.

Online therapy with Kelsey can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions avoid the need for video, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit sessions around work, family and daily life.
