Online therapy options and approaches
Dr. Libby Black offers remote sessions that combine a reflective relational stance with structured skills work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational histories and current relationship patterns to improve how people connect with others.
These approaches are offered in a collaborative format where therapist and individual set goals together and choose techniques that fit the person s priorities. Some people find value in a mix of skills training, emotional processing, and exploration of attachment needs. Sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and schedules.
Dr. Black works to match the selected approach to each person s needs, offering clear explanations of techniques and inviting regular feedback so the collaboration can be adjusted over time.
