Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values. It is often useful for anxiety, persistent guilt, and getting unstuck from unhelpful thinking patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and changing patterns that keep someone feeling ashamed or stuck.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. It can support sleep, emotional regulation, and noticing habitual self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit current goals, preferences, and practical needs. That often means trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting as progress and feedback emerge.
