Online support

How Elizabeth brings emotion work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their feelings in real time and work through patterns that get in the way of connection and self-soothing. It’s useful for people struggling with grief, attachment wounds, or recurring relationship and intimacy problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions even when feelings are difficult; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and habits and provides concrete skills for sleep, mood, and anger management.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is tracked. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the person can manage between meetings.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text is available for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
