How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and live with more purpose. Attachment-Based Therapy is about understanding how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns, which can help with relationship tension and parenting stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that suit their needs, and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful.
