Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and then choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful for addressing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with practical strategies and skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change by teaching tools that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. David collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into a busy life or to continue therapy when in-person meetings are difficult. For many people, this accessibility supports consistent attendance and steady progress with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
