How Daffney’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect and respond to others, which can help intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daffney will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. Treatment is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what to adjust.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, journaling, or between-session support. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
