Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then take values-driven actions that lead to a more meaningful life. It can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress, then teaching concrete skills to shift those patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and improving everyday functioning.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving people space to explore their experiences and discover their own solutions. This approach supports emotional processing, relationship work, and personal growth.
