Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and emotions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and transitions where values-based action helps guide change.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It aims to improve connection, communication, and trust, which can help with family conflict, parenting challenges, and relationship-related fears.

Tricia will work collaboratively with each client to identify which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She views finding the right therapeutic style as part of the journey and adjusts strategies over time based on what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations.
