How his approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, codependency, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and priorities, using listening and reflection to build insight and self-direction.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day routine. That plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
