How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, stress, and coping after traumatic events.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns and to build healthier habits for mood and anxiety concerns.
Sonia treats choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about what feels helpful, suggest methods that match their needs, and adjust the plan as they go. The goal is to find an approach that fits the client’s goals and daily life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue care during major life changes or after community disruptions related to natural or human-caused disaster. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to work well in remote sessions, using exercises, values work, and skills practice to support steady progress.
