Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, codependency and coping with life changes by building flexibility around difficult thoughts and feelings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people understand trust, closeness and boundaries so they can form safer, more satisfying relationships and recover from relational trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharen will listen to your story and discuss which methods might help most for your goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and saving time between commitments. They also allow for different practical arrangements such as sessions that focus on brief check-ins or longer therapeutic work depending on what you need. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they suit your routine and needs.
