Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Esther Dubique draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them, and supports identifying values-driven actions to move forward - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection, supporting people who struggle with intimacy, attachment issues, and relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Esther collaborates with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time to reflect what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with Esther includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
