Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing symptoms day to day. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help people improve communication and trust in relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test which methods feel helpful and tailor strategies to individual goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can include learning skills, practicing new responses, and reviewing what worked between meetings.
