How Daffney's Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking steps that match their values. That can be useful for grief, midlife change, or career decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy, helping people make different choices in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daffney will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and life situation. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy proceeds so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during transitions. Some formats let people meet without video, which can help when bandwidth or a quieter environment is needed. Overall, online sessions aim to bring therapeutic tools into everyday life while focusing on practical coping skills and measurable steps.
