Approaches That Guide Online Therapy with Julie Shore
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and encourages action that aligns with personal values - it is often used for anxiety, stress and persistent mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that come from early relationships and explores how those patterns affect current relationships, separation worries and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, offering empathic, non-directive support to build self-awareness, self-worth and the capacity to make choices that feel right.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Julie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time, combining approaches as needed to create a tailored plan that reflects the client’s priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, caring responsibilities or mobility limits. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and make consistent, ongoing work with a registered professional more achievable.
