Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can take meaningful action aligned with their values - useful for stress, anxiety, motivation, and situations that require clearer direction. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up in current connections, which can be helpful for relationship struggles, attachment issues, codependency, and family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical skills to shift them, often used for depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorraine works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify the methods that best match each person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she blends techniques as appropriate to support steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access therapists from different locations. These options allow clients to choose formats that suit their communication style and schedule while maintaining continuity of care across different circumstances.
