How Narrative and ACT Ideas Guide Online Therapy

ACT is often used for stress, anxiety, and making behavior changes that matter to a person.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Luke will talk with clients about goals and preferences and try methods that fit each situation. The aim is to discover what feels useful and keep adjusting based on results and feedback.
