Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Tiffany Vastardis uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as primary ways to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and learn practical skills to accept difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful actions - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns formed in early life and how they affect current relationships and emotional regulation - it can be especially helpful for attachment issues, relationship conflict, and trauma-related concerns. When appropriate, she also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support stability and improved functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Vastardis works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This shared process helps ensure care aligns with what the client values and hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Dr. Vastardis offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, comfort levels, and access needs. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
