Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Heather Nelson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility - it helps people manage difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action in their lives. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections, which can be useful for addressing relationship struggles, grief, and attachment concerns. Heather integrates these approaches with a client-centered stance, keeping the person’s goals and lived experience central to treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heather will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames therapy as a partnership where techniques are tailored over time rather than fixed from the start.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone let clients meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional options for connection between formal sessions. These remote formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from a distance, supporting continuity of care and ongoing progress.
