Online support

How these approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and change how they respond in close relationships. It is useful when emotional patterns keep causing pain or distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches people to notice inner experiences without fighting them and to choose actions that align with their values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shelley will discuss goals and preferences and will collaborate to decide which methods to emphasize. That conversation can change over time as new challenges or priorities appear, and the plan is adjusted together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
