How Dr. Coble’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction when old family patterns feel limiting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, impulse control, and shifting reactions learned in childhood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can help with impulsivity and intense reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process often starts by picking one or two techniques to see what helps most.
