Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and moving through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that maintain problems and testing new behaviors to change mood and routines. It often helps with depression, sleep, eating, and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and improving how people express and connect around feelings, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related difficulties.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process shapes the pace and tools used in sessions.
