Approaches for online therapy and how they help

Mark Dexter draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide his online practice. ACT helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters to them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being overwhelmed by them. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape present patterns, supporting clients to build healthier connections and address relationship-related concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts his work as those needs evolve. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to maintain consistency, fit therapy around work and family life, and connect with registered professionals from different locations. For many people, that accessibility supports ongoing progress and makes seeking help more manageable.
