Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Anne provides online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow her to deliver assessment, collaborative treatment planning, and ongoing skills work without requiring in-person meetings. Communication mode can be chosen to match a client’s needs and the focus of the work.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical exercises and step-by-step strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also integrated, helping clients clarify values and build willingness to experience difficult thoughts while pursuing meaningful action.
Attachment-Based approaches are applied when relational patterns and early bonds are central to the presenting issues; this work explores interpersonal dynamics and emotional regulation within a supportive therapeutic relationship. Anne frames these methods collaboratively, tailoring the mix of techniques to fit each person’s goals and readiness.
