Approaches in online therapy and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, supports people in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then clarifying values to guide meaningful action - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, exploring how early connections shape current bonds and helping to rebuild security and trust in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own capacity for growth, which can be beneficial for self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gillian works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors sessions by combining elements from different approaches when appropriate so therapy aligns with each person's situation.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, those living far from services, or people who prefer different ways of communicating. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each client.
