Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values. This approach helps people cope with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful goals rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable emotion.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT is often used for stress management, motivation, confidence building, and coping with everyday challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, offering empathy and unconditional regard so individuals can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating parenting or career concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. A licensed professional will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques and pacing to find the best fit. Online therapy makes these methods accessible through flexible options. Video calls recreate face-to-face interaction, phone sessions offer convenience, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care with licensed therapists.
