How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and situations that involve major life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses structured techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach is commonly helpful for anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and coping with change.
Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and reactions. It can be useful when communication problems, intimacy concerns, or caregiving dynamics are causing repeated conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize values work, skill-building, or relationship patterns.
