Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Adriene integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in early life and in current relationships, offering insight and strategies for improving connection and resolving relational pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Adriene collaborates with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions make it possible to access therapy from wherever a person is located by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing continuity of care when life changes occur, and let licensed professionals and therapists meet clients in ways that suit different comfort levels and daily routines.
