Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that get in the way of living according to personal values.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early life and how they influence current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and recovery from relational trauma, offering ways to build safer connections and better boundaries.

Cynthia views the selection of an approach as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the treatment feels aligned and practical.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to access registered professionals from different locations, while preserving the opportunity for consistent, ongoing therapeutic work.
