Integrative Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful for managing persistent worry, stress, and patterns that get in the way of meaningful living.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients explore their own goals and solutions. This approach supports self-exploration, confidence building, and recovery from setbacks.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies. CBT is often applied to anxiety, low mood, motivation challenges, and practical coping skills.
