Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that add up to meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches specific skills to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and practical coping skills for strong emotions and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The plan can combine elements from different approaches as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when that works better. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistent weekly work and practicing skills between appointments.
