Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current closeness and trust, which is often helpful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. John will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit your situation. Together you can try methods and adjust as you learn what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives. It can allow shorter check-ins, sessions during a lunch break, or appointments without needing to travel. Therapists who offer remote sessions can still use ACT and attachment-focused work to practice skills, notice patterns, and try new ways of relating over time.
