How Dianne Uses Emotion and Values in Online Therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions in relationships and personal life. It helps people notice patterns in how feelings show up and guides them toward clearer emotional connection and expression, which can ease conflict and improve closeness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. That approach can help when anxiety, grief, or difficult memories interfere with daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and can be useful for people wanting to change repeating patterns of conflict or withdrawal.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can adjust over time based on what works best for the client.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full-session conversations and emotional work. Phone calls can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
