Approach-driven online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and uses values-based actions to guide change; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practicing concrete skills to shift those patterns, which often helps with mood, anxiety, and impulsivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is centered on understanding emotions that shape relationship patterns and improving communication and emotional connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which approaches to use and adjust methods as needs change, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
