Online support
How Adrienne’s Approaches Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful emotional patterns. It helps people notice emotions, understand what those feelings mean, and shift how they respond in important relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and persistent negative thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrienne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit. That collaboration lets the therapist tailor sessions using elements from EFT, ACT, or other methods based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video allows visual connection for emotional work and attachment-focused conversations. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let someone keep a therapy thread going between sessions or choose a lower-intensity way to communicate. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use the methods that feel most helpful.
