How her approaches translate to online work
Madeline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that fit well over distance. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and learning small actions that align with those values, which can be practiced between sessions to support real-life change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotions, helping people notice interaction habits and try new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each client about goals and preferences and recommend methods that match those needs. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are supported. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions useful for practicing skills at home and for keeping momentum between in-person visits.
