Online support
Therapeutic approaches and what they offer online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the client so they can find their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, grief work, and decisions around relationships or parenting.
Sheila will work together with each person to choose the best mix of methods. Figuring out the right approach is part of the early sessions, and adjustments are made based on goals and what feels most useful. The process is collaborative and focused on achievable steps.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video lets people see facial cues; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter space is all that’s available. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent across work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
