Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck on them and clarify what matters most, so they can take small actions toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client leads the work.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, life demands, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as goals shift or new challenges appear, so the plan evolves with the client.
