How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anger that comes from feeling controlled or stuck, and with decisions about relationships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, anxiety, mood problems, and the behaviors that keep anger cycling. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus during tense moments.Choosing the right approach is something the therapist and client figure out together. Georgianne will talk through options, try techniques in session, and adjust them based on what helps you meet your goals. This process is collaborative and focused on what fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to practice communication or behavior experiments between sessions in real life while keeping the therapist involved in planning and review.
