Approaches That Guide Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where building committed action toward what matters is a priority.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that developed in close relationships and helps individuals and families build more secure connections. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and healing from abandonment or early relational wounds.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and anger management.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
