Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill practice, often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and working with emotions to improve how someone relates to themselves and others, which can help with relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Yolanda will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting as needs change.
