Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kathleen Griffin

Kathleen Griffin integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, learn to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and the uncertainty of life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships and attachment patterns shape current connections and emotional responses; it can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and patterns of avoidance or dependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathleen Griffin works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kathleen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in support from home or other convenient locations, while working with a licensed professional to move toward meaningful change.
