How these approaches shape online work
Dr. Belhamel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and making room for actions that match personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people recognize their relational needs and try different ways of asking for support, useful for intimacy and codependency concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying ACT techniques for coping, then using attachment ideas to repair relationship patterns, or combining methods over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work from a quieter spot without being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen approaches to work well in remote sessions, focusing on skills practice, values-based steps, and relational patterns rather than changing the core therapy work.
