Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Bernadette draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then identify values-based actions to build a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections, which can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and family conflict. She also uses elements of Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel understood and supported as they explore their concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bernadette works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses to best support each person.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access consistent support while fitting therapy into busy or geographically distant lives. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style so clients can choose what works best for them and continue progressing even when in-person meetings are not possible.
