How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba draws on several evidence-informed approaches that adapt well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and focuses on committing to values-based action - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses - it can be especially helpful for attachment issues, relationship struggles, abandonment concerns and intimacy-related problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of care, offering empathy and unconditional positive regard so clients can discover their own solutions and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bola collaborates with each person to identify which methods or combination of methods suit their goals, preferences and presenting concerns, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy lives, to connect across distances, and to maintain continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver structured therapeutic support while meeting clients where they are.
