Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present. It is often used for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and for people working through trauma-related avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood disorders to build practical skills for day-to-day challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own goals and insights. This approach can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and exploring identity or relationship issues.
