How Beth's approaches shape online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering reflection and empathy so people feel heard while they work through problems like relationship strain or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Beth will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. This collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized over time.
