Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward a life those values support, useful for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and daily routines, which can help with mood, sleep, and addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss symptoms, goals, and preferences to decide which methods to emphasize. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what is working.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
