Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sharen commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles. ACT helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward a life that matters to them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that develop from early bonds and helps people build healthier, more secure connections - it can be helpful for relationship distress, abandonment concerns, and interpersonal trauma.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharen works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for their circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility and greater access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and health commitments, and allow clients to engage from wherever they feel most comfortable. Registered professionals and therapists can provide meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, supporting progress while accommodating each person’s practical needs.
