Online support

How Allison blends attachment work and practical skills online

Allison uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and sit with strong emotions and to change patterns that keep them stuck. EFT is useful when feelings drive repeated reactions and someone wants clearer emotional connection with their own experience.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients accept difficult thoughts and focus on values-driven action. ACT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when people want skills to move forward even with uncomfortable feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit that person best. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversational work and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent across a busy week.
