How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and take action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on values and small consistent steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical tools to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more trusting connections over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, preferences, and life demands and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and may shift as progress unfolds.
