Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters most, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how they show up in current relationships - it can help with intimacy, attachment issues, and relationship repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorraine will work collaboratively with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time to find what works best. This collaborative stance helps ensure care feels tailored and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments. These options increase accessibility and let clients continue consistent therapeutic work from wherever they are, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
