Therapeutic approaches and online care
Paul Sampson draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide online work. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can be useful for motivation, anxiety, and depression. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often helping with anxiety, low mood, and problem-focused goals. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be helpful for relationship strain and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paul will work collaboratively with each person and with licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
