Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, so they can take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood where avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns with others; it supports people wanting to understand repeated relationship difficulties and feeling more connected to themselves.

Marta sees deciding on an approach as a shared process. She will discuss options, listen to what matters most to the client and adjust methods to fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can include practical exercises, talking about patterns from the past and work with bodily sensations when those are helpful.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when less bandwidth or a shorter appointment is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write between sessions or use messaging for brief check-ins and reflections. These options increase flexibility and let people keep therapy going around work, medical care or day-to-day commitments.
