Lisa Brinton uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT supports learning new ways to relate to inner experiences so clients can move toward a life that matters to them.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially helpful for people working through abandonment, attachment issues, or recurring relationship difficulties because it focuses on building safer, more secure ways of relating.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies for identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours tied to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT provides clear skills for managing symptoms and improving emotional regulation.
