How Lakeithia Uses Therapy Models Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps that match those values, which can be useful for guilt, shame, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses, often through small, practical exercises between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding so the person can find their own solutions. This approach supports someone who needs time to sort through feelings and decide what matters next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as new priorities and challenges emerge.
