Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching people to accept difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can ease relationship strain and attachment issues.
Donald will work collaboratively to find which approach fits best for each person. He will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and adjust methods over time so therapy matches what the client wants to accomplish.
