How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thinking and trying practical changes in behavior and routine to reduce symptoms like persistent worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons experience, using empathy and active listening so people feel heard while they develop their own solutions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and realistic for the persons life.
