Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Martha Higgins integrates approaches that meet clients where they are and translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and early bonds, offering a path to repair connection and address abandonment or attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaborative understanding, giving clients space to explore their feelings and build self-acceptance while the therapist follows their lead.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor care to the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. For many people, remote options increase access to consistent, ongoing therapeutic support from licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
