Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection
Sharon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that block progress. Attachment-Based Therapy is offered to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and to support repairing and strengthening bonds - this can help with intimacy, parenting, and trust issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often providing practical tools for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
