Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is useful for anger that gets in the way of relationships or work because it focuses on action instead of trying to eliminate emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, anger, and problems with motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises so the plan addresses thinking patterns, valued action, and moment-to-moment reactivity.

Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and coaching. The focus is on making sessions practical and usable in everyday life.
