How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters to the person. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting attention from unhelpful thoughts toward meaningful activity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or anger and is useful for managing stress and symptoms day to day.
Attachment-Based work pays attention to how important relationships affect current behavior and emotional reactions. It is helpful for intimacy-related concerns and understanding patterns that repeat across relationships.
Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify which methods fit the client's goals and try different techniques as needed. Clients and the therapist set practical goals together and adjust the plan over time.
