Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward a life that matters to them, while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that develop in close relationships and how early experiences influence connection and trust, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and some forms of trauma. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and collaboration so the person’s own insights and strengths guide growth and healing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Diane works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify what fits best with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, adjusting as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting clients access support from home or while balancing work and family life. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, adapt session formats to what feels most comfortable, and continue work between appointments with ongoing messaging when helpful.
