How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It teaches simple exercises for staying connected to values when stress or loss feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to improve mood and function. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can reduce impulsive reactions and help with strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Manocchio will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and pace. He blends techniques - skill teaching, values work, and attachment-focused conversation - so sessions match what a client wants to accomplish.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a work break. It can also let someone continue care when they are away from their usual area. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to suit schedules and daily demands.
