How his approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to mood and sleep problems. It often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy and collaboration so clients set their own goals and pace for change.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions fit the person’s needs and progress.
