Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building practical habits that align with what matters most, which can be helpful for issues like depression, anxiety, and challenges with motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Through CBT, clients learn skills to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors that interfere with everyday functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is particularly useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with high-stress moments.
