Online support
Using different approaches in online therapy
Elizabeth often blends Existential therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters and take action toward it. Existential work looks at meaning, values, and the choices someone faces; it can help when life changes or loss make things feel uncertain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to commit to actions that match personal values.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how earlier relationships shape current patterns, which can be helpful for people struggling with trust, closeness, or repeated conflicts. Together these approaches let the therapist and client decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences in an ongoing, collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options make shorter check-ins or written reflection possible. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
