Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy
Andrew draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and develop flexible, present-focused strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they shape current connections and emotional responses - it can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues, and long-standing emotional wounds.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. He works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, drawing on practices commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists to create a tailored plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage from familiar settings while still receiving professional therapeutic support.
