Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take values-driven action, while teaching practical skills to live with uncomfortable thoughts and emotions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress where getting unstuck feels difficult.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships, offering a way to understand trust, intimacy, and abandonment concerns. It can be especially helpful for clients working through attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and impacts of adoption or foster care.
Vanessa approaches treatment collaboratively - she listens to each person's story, discusses different methods, and helps choose the combination of techniques that best fit the client's goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and adjustments are made together as work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility to meet from home or wherever is convenient, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access care across time zones, and to maintain continuity of support during life transitions, while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor care to individual needs.
