Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It often includes exercises to accept uncomfortable thoughts while focusing on committed steps forward, which can help with anxiety and life purpose concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop alternative responses, useful for depression, anxiety, and impulse control issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Short skills practice and behavioral strategies from DBT can be helpful for anger, impulsivity, and co-occurring mood problems.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to decide which mix of approaches fits the client’s needs and preferences.
