Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andreia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and learn flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance reduces quality of life.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns that form in relationships and in responses to loss, abandonment, or attachment difficulties. This approach helps people understand how early and ongoing relational experiences shape current behavior and emotional needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andreia works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or another convenient location. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into busy schedules while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor support to each person’s needs.
