Online support options
Approaches that inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then choose values-led steps to move forward; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on building safer, more connected ways of relating, which can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, offering tools for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, visual session is helpful. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth or feel less formal. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping the focus on workable tools and steady progress.
