Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy and connection
Rebecca uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify their values, accept difficult feelings, and take small actions that align with what matters most. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where a person wants clearer direction rather than only symptom relief. She also applies Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, which can help with intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and grief.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, mixing techniques as needed. The plan evolves over time based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, chat is useful for short focused conversations, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines with licensed professionals available to guide progress.
