Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where reducing struggle with internal experiences is a priority.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. It can be useful for relationship challenges, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties with intimacy and trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping and mood regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Megan collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure a good match.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to connect when in-person visits are difficult.
