Approaches used and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a valued life. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and situations where avoidance keeps problems going.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for mood disorders, anxiety, and anger regulation.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ruben will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.
Practical benefits of video sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping appointments that might be hard to reach in person. Ruben provides counseling through audio-visual video sessions and does not offer phone or text counseling, so confirm the session options before booking. Video sessions can make it easier to have a focused check-in, use visual worksheets, or do guided exercises while staying in a familiar place.
