Online support

How therapy methods translate to online care

Hypnotherapy can help people access calm states and focus on shifting unhelpful patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, habit change, and trauma-related reactions in a paced way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and still move toward meaningful values, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections, making it useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larsen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will try options, check what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy stays relevant and practical for the client's life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day and to follow up between meetings. These formats help people keep therapy going across different schedules and locations.
