Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while taking practical steps toward what matters most. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with change.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, supportive relationship where clients can talk openly and feel understood. This approach can be especially helpful when someone is navigating grief, self-esteem concerns, relationship strain, or big decisions and wants space to clarify what they need.
Mindfulness Therapy builds skills for slowing down and paying attention to the present moment with less judgment. It can support people who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or caught in constant worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laidley Poulton works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then shapes sessions accordingly.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can help fit therapy into busy schedules, parenting demands, or periods of high stress.
