How Ricky's Methods Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ricky will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use one or more approaches to fit those needs. This is meant to be collaborative so the plan can change as progress is made.
