Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Mildred Sellars

Mildred integrates several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and supports building a life aligned with personal values - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early life and helps clients understand and repair ways of relating to partners, family members, and caregivers - it can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and family challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and strengths, creating a respectful, empathetic space where the person’s priorities shape the pace and focus of therapy.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mildred works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support meaningful change. This partnership helps tailor care to practical concerns as well as deeper emotional patterns.

Online therapy with Mildred is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel barriers, and fit therapy into busy routines while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to address personal and relational goals.
