How therapy approaches guide online work
Diane integrates approaches that help people make concrete changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect with partners and caregivers, useful for intimacy and communication concerns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and topics. This approach supports people who need time to explore feelings and build confidence. Diane sees finding the right approach as a team effort; she will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit the person’s situation.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also use different techniques remotely, such as guided exercises, communication practice, and homework that fits daily life.
