Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thinking and behavior and testing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and closeness, which can help with grief, caregiving stress, and relationship anxiety.Diane approaches these methods collaboratively. She will talk with the client about goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Together they review what works and adjust plans as therapy progresses so the approach matches real-life change goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video brings face-to-face connection; phone can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging enable shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
