Remote sessions using evidence-informed approaches
Solenne offers remote sessions that combine structured skill work and exploratory attachment-focused work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people clarify personal values and build a meaningful path forward while learning practical strategies to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and how early relational experiences influence current connections and boundaries. Sessions are collaborative: Solenne works with each person to select practices and tools that fit their situation and to pace exploration alongside concrete coping strategies. Remote formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support ongoing work between appointments. Those interested in an approach that blends skill development, emotional processing, and relational understanding may find this mix appropriate. Communication options support different preferences for live conversation or written check-ins.What is Solenne's clinical experience?
