How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for guilt and shame that keeps someone avoiding important parts of life.Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The counsellor aims to reflect feelings and help the person make sense of their experience in their own words.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and for getting steadier in relationships. Skills work can be helpful when guilt, shame or trauma lead to strong emotional reactions or patterns of dissociation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
