Telehealth options and therapeutic approaches
Arthur Hastings offers remote care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He draws on several established approaches to shape sessions according to each person’s needs and preferences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms and daily challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify what matters most to an individual and supports actions that align with those values while learning to tolerate difficult internal experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and works to strengthen emotional connection and understanding between partners or family members.
These methods can be combined to fit a collaborative style that balances skill building, values exploration, and relational repair.
