Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and teach concrete coping skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans can combine elements from different approaches based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use therapy methods like ACT and CBT in remote visits to teach skills, process difficult experiences, and track progress over time.
