How Rebecca brings key approaches to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and guide small steps towards a more meaningful life, which can help with stress, anxiety and grief. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Working on these patterns can improve communication, reduce loneliness and ease difficulties around intimacy and trust. Finding the right fit is part of the work. Rebecca discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and will suggest which approaches to try together. The plan is reviewed and adjusted with the person at regular points so therapy stays practical and relevant. Online formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy going. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be clearer when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life while using the same therapeutic techniques as in-person meetings.Start online instead of waiting
