Approach-Focused Care Online with Lenore

Lenore draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online therapy to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve current connections and address issues such as intimacy difficulties, relationship conflict, and attachment-related trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for mood disorders, anxiety, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lenore works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility across busy schedules, mobility needs, and geographic constraints. These options make consistent care more accessible while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them, and Lenore supports each client in selecting the best mode of communication for their work together.
