Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or sleep disruption get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can include improving bedtime routines and reducing insomnia. Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore relationship patterns and how they affect emotional safety and intimacy, useful for people struggling with connection or trust.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Helen works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus, homework, and goals so work feels relevant and doable.
