04Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Sheila commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and rehearsing more effective ways of responding to stress and anxiety.Sheila also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feelings of abandonment or loneliness. Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful when visual cues matter and allow a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or want flexible, brief contact during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
