How specific approaches can help online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making clearer decisions about work and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behaviors by using small experiments and new ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then recommend approaches to try. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
