How ACT, CBT, and DBT inform online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines for sleep and daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
