How therapy approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching simple exercises to accept hard feelings and move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors. It uses straightforward tools like thought records and activity plans to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend ways to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It can also let clients use video, audio, or written check-ins depending on what works best for them and their schedule.
