Online support
How therapy approaches work online
Dr. Archibald uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change the emotional patterns that affect their close relationships. EFT focuses on feelings and interaction patterns, and it can be helpful when emotions keep getting in the way of connection.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which puts the person's experience at the center of sessions. That approach relies on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can explore options at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when practical tools are needed to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as for anxiety and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as progress is made. Clients take an active role in deciding what to try.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video visits allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping continuity of care.
