Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Alan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people clarify personal values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when motivation feels blocked.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional processing.
Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions using CBT often include skills practice and goal-oriented steps.
