Online support

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with the emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal distress. Online sessions can help people notice these feelings, name attachment needs, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. In remote sessions this often involves brief experiential exercises, values clarification, and homework that fits into daily routines.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns. That work adapts well to video or phone conversations and to written exchanges that reinforce learning between sessions.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and what feels useful in practice.

Online formats offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to have shorter, more frequent contacts when needed.
