Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Lisa Connelly integrates several evidence-informed methods into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, making it useful for attachment concerns, intimacy-related issues, and family dynamics. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people coping with intense emotions, relationship conflict, or self-destructive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these models to fit each person. That collaborative process helps determine which methods will be most helpful over time.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face connection without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for fitting help into busy schedules or when real-time conversation is preferred. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care across day-to-day life.
