Online support
How emotion work and acceptance fit with online therapy
Leanne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name emotions that influence relationships and closeness. EFT helps when patterns of disconnection, hurt, or avoidance keep showing up in interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to build small, value-driven steps that reduce distress and increase meaningful action.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods feel most useful based on goals, history, and daily life. That collaborative planning may shift over time as needs change and new challenges arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different rhythms of life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, homework support, or stepped care between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
