Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Danica commonly blends Existential therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people handle meaning and action in daily life. Existential therapy looks at questions of purpose, freedom, and responsibility to help someone find direction during transitions or crises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and committing to values-driven actions to reduce avoidance and improve coping.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to understand patterns in close relationships and to work on trust, boundaries, and communication. Together these approaches give both big-picture perspective and hands-on steps for change. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process; the therapist works with the client to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy flexible for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging let someone check in more frequently or use short updates between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in real time.
