Therapeutic approaches and online support with Dominic Lourie

Dominic draws on client-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based approaches to guide online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on offering empathy and nonjudgmental understanding, helping people explore their feelings and build self-awareness. ACT helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility, which can support coping with stress, anxiety, and difficult life changes. Attachment-based work explores patterns in relationships and emotional bonds to address trust, intimacy, and family-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dominic works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Dominic is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and keep continuity of care across locations, while allowing licensed professionals to apply the same therapeutic skills and approaches as in face-to-face work.
