Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking practical steps toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches straightforward strategies to change them, often useful for depression and anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge where trauma is a central issue.Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the problem, goals, and what feels doable. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan changes as progress is made.
