Remote sessions and clinical approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy are central to Karen Haggard's remote practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking action aligned with those values while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the links among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and introduces practical coping and problem-solving skills. Attachment-Based work explores relational patterns and how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and communication.These approaches are presented collaboratively. People seeking skills-based tools, clearer direction about priorities and values, or an opportunity to examine relationship dynamics may find a good fit with this style. Sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to work together across distances. Karen accepts international clients and adapts these therapeutic methods to the communication format chosen by each person.
