Online support
How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online
Rebecca integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions that show up in relationships and attachment patterns. EFT techniques can help someone name feelings, understand their impact, and try new ways of connecting or responding.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and commit to values-based actions. ACT often helps people who are stuck by building small steps toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine how early relationships shape current responses and to develop new, healthier ways of relating to others.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She uses the first sessions to find out what feels most helpful and to set realistic steps forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular care. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
