Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action. It can support those dealing with anxiety, depression, low motivation, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses, offering ways to understand and change dynamics that affect intimacy, family relationships, and attachment-related concerns.

John approaches choosing a therapeutic method as a collaborative process. He works with clients to identify preferences, goals, and the problems they want to address, and then adapts techniques from different approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy with John is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, varied routines, and clients living in different locations. These options make regular, ongoing work possible while allowing clients to pick the format that feels most comfortable and accessible for their situation.
