How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. In practice this means noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that reflect personal priorities rather than avoiding discomfort.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks directly at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them, and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, directed way to build a person’s own reasons for change. It is especially useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step toward healthier habits.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Kathleen will help figure out which methods fit best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.
