Therapeutic Approaches and the Convenience of Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop actions that align with those values while learning to work with difficult thoughts and emotions - it is often useful for anxiety, trauma-related avoidance, and navigating major life changes. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes an empathic, non-directive relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports clients in finding their own solutions - this approach can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and improving communication in relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns, which can support couples, parents, and people struggling with abandonment or attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gillian works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts the work as understanding deepens. This means clients are involved in choosing paths that feel most helpful to them.
Online therapy offers practical benefits - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, accommodate caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats support flexibility and access, allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress using modalities that suit daily routines and comfort levels.
