Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Elizabeth Coutts draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to meet the challenges clients bring to therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing practical skills to shift them. It is often used when someone wants clearer strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. ACT can be especially helpful when clients feel stuck in worry, self-criticism, or avoidance and want to reconnect with values-based action.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship experiences shape trust, boundaries, and emotional needs. This lens can support clients who want to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and better understand recurring patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what feels most helpful, and adjust strategies over time based on progress and preferences.
Online therapy adds flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into real life while maintaining consistent momentum between sessions.
