How Pam uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then move toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and build routines that support sleep and daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating and managing emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pam will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. She aims to match skills and strategies to individual needs rather than stick to a single model.
