How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can help with sleep, eating, mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over several sessions she will review what is helping and adjust techniques so the plan stays useful for day-to-day life.

It also lets people use skills learned in sessions directly in their home routines. The therapist uses the chosen therapeutic approaches to focus on realistic coping tools, improved communication, and step-by-step changes that can be applied between meetings.
