Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility by teaching practical skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships influence current patterns in connection, trust, and intimacy. This approach supports work on relationship challenges, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues by exploring relational patterns and building new ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises an empathic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers understanding and acceptance to help clients explore their feelings and find their own solutions. It is often helpful for building self-esteem, managing grief, and navigating transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Janet will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their situation and pace.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access consistent support across time zones. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, adapt sessions to your daily life, and provide practical tools and guidance in formats that suit different communication styles.
