Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It focuses on building psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful goals despite discomfort. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, and it supports rebuilding safer, more secure ways of relating in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop coping strategies that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Corina Valdano works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances change.
