How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify values and take small steps toward them. It focuses on actions that matter and helps when someone feels stuck or avoidant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can support people dealing with stress, grief, or anger. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can shift as needs change during therapy. Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit with busy schedules and the ability to meet without travel. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in or to work sessions around work breaks.
