Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. It teaches skills to act on values even when emotions are strong, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand relational habits and practice new ways of relating, which can reduce conflict and improve intimacy.
Charles treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. That process is part of therapy rather than a one-time choice.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to meet around work, parenting, or other daily responsibilities while keeping therapy consistent.
