Online support

How Terri’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and understand emotional patterns that get in the way of connection and wellbeing. It focuses on feelings in the moment and the needs those feelings point to, which can be especially useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace of work and the therapist follows with empathy and reflection. That style supports people who need time to feel heard and understood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick or combine methods based on the client’s goals, history, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
