Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed action in line with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for people facing life transitions, persistent worry, or patterns that feel stuck.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of therapy. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and strengthening one’s own problem-solving abilities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by helping people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical strategies and skills. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with stressful situations.
