Approaches Janet names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Existential therapy invites people to look at questions of meaning, choice, and personal values. It helps when life feels empty, confusing, or when big changes force new decisions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and building clearer goals in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people change unhelpful patterns in how they relate to others.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques and a pace that feel comfortable, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make that collaborative work easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people use body language and tone for richer conversation. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a simpler check-in on a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, frequent contact for coaching or between-session support. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for matching the format to the task at hand, whether that is a focused skill practice or a deeper discussion.
