Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Anthony commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act on what matters most. It can support anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional safety, helping people understand how early bonds affect current relationships and self‑view.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest ways of working that match your needs and preferences. You and the therapist choose together which methods to try, and adjust them as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a focused way to check in, and messaging provides short, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and personal values.
