Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online connection
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and patterns of connection. It helps people identify interaction cycles and practice new ways of relating that reduce distress and increase closeness.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small, committed steps toward those values. It is useful for managing painful thoughts or urges and for building actions that match personal priorities.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early bonds and how they influence current relationships. It supports people in understanding attachment patterns and trying different ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work on emotions and interaction, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging may suit those who prefer written reflection or need more frequent brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life situations.
