Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions where creating a meaningful direction matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, helping clients improve intimacy, communication and emotional safety within relationships. This approach can be especially helpful for attachment-related concerns and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting improvements in mood, anxiety, and daily functioning. CBT is goal-oriented and often includes strategies clients can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorraine will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she can adapt techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, maintain consistency during transitions, and access therapy from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
