Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Marcia Holloway draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports commitment to actions that reflect personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships, exploring how early bonds affect current connection and trust, and it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and intimacy-related issues.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marcia collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, then adjusts methods so therapy feels relevant and practical. This collaborative stance helps ensure interventions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone meetings, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make consistent access to a registered professional easier for people juggling work, family or health demands, and they allow therapy to fit into everyday life while preserving the relational focus that supports meaningful change.
