Online support

Relationship and attachment work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships and helps people who struggle with closeness, trust, or attachment wounds. The Gottman Method offers concrete communication and conflict tools aimed at improving interaction patterns and rebuilding trust after hurt.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to find what fits best. Together you will set practical goals and adjust methods as progress unfolds, with choices guided by what feels most useful to you.

Online appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls let you work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat support shorter check-ins and ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change.
