Therapeutic approaches you may use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward what matters despite uncomfortable emotions, which can help when anger or avoidance get in the way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT teaches concrete strategies for spotting triggers, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in conflicts.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps the client make steady progress. Clients and the therapist choose which strategies to keep using as needs change.
