Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Brent often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take action aligned with their values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach he uses to explore patterns that developed in close relationships and to help rebuild trust, connection, and healthier relational patterns. This work can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship struggles, and difficulties with intimacy.

He also incorporates client-centered principles, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s perspective guides the pace and focus of therapy. Brent treats the selection and blending of approaches as a collaborative process, working with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access, allowing clients to engage from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session formats, and find what works best for each individual and their life circumstances.
