Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn skills to live in alignment with those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and committing to practical behavior changes that improve daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that shape how someone connects with others. It can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, relationship conflict, or attachment concerns rooted in earlier experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, panic, and many other concerns by teaching concrete coping and problem-solving skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. John DeCarlis works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
