Online support options
Online approaches that teach skills and build insight
Adenia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them, take small steps toward those values, and accept difficult feelings while moving forward. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her toolbox when the focus is on understanding emotional responses and improving emotional connection to oneself; this can help with grief, shame, and relationship-related feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, try techniques that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. Sessions are shaped by what feels useful to you rather than a fixed method.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact and coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
