Online therapeutic approaches and how they help

Andrew Merz draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward values-driven actions - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and closeness developed in relationships, helping people understand how early attachment experiences shape current bonds and relational difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, offering empathic listening and support to help people explore their concerns and build self-directed change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Andrew will work collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques to fit the individual rather than applying a single formula.

Online therapy with Andrew is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments.
