Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing concrete alternatives to reduce symptoms like low mood and worry. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and support so a person can build their own insight and resilience.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining strategies or shifting focus over time as progress is made.
