Approaches that translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses that shape relationships, which can be helpful when intimacy or communication is a concern.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt those methods as progress is made.
