Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance limits daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early caregiving relationships and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses - it can help with intimacy-related concerns, trust issues, and recurring relationship conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger.

Susan Russell works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process, and she partners with clients to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow for face-to-face conversation without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide more immediate or lower-intensity options for connection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location within the region.
