How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck, unmotivated, or unsure what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and breaking repetitive habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful when feelings often feel overwhelming or relationships are reactive.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 may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time as needs change.
