Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values. It often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while building habits that fit a chosen life direction, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding. It is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and some substance use issues.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional experience and connection. It helps people name and process core feelings and improve how they express needs and respond to others, which can ease relationship distress and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate to choose or combine methods based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. That process may include trying strategies from different approaches and adjusting as needed.
