Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and commit to small, practical actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on building a meaningful life rather than eliminating discomfort.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and expectations. This approach can be helpful for issues such as relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and challenges linked to abandonment or attachment wounds.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Andrew and other registered professionals work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and they adjust plans as progress unfolds.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and needs, making it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. These options allow clients to connect from their chosen location and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a therapist.
