How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Leanne commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her online practice. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves talking through the impact of distressing experiences and learning ways to reduce their hold on daily life. ACT centres on noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match a person’s values, which can help with anxiety, depression and ongoing stress.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas when relationship patterns or early-care experiences matter. That approach looks at how past connections shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together - Leanne will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most practical, then tailor the methods to fit the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel and to continue care when meeting face to face is not possible.
