Therapeutic approaches for online support and relationships

Wajda often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking actions that align with personal values - it is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, helping with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Wajda works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time so the process feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions - via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reach people who are not local. These flexible options allow registered professionals to offer consistent, accessible support while accommodating different comfort levels and schedules.
