How Michelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, codependency, and coping with life changes by focusing on action rather than perfect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers simple tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and repetitive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, handling crises, and improving relationships; it can help with emotional reactivity and distress tolerance.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, daily life, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
