How Brenda Uses Structured Therapies Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into clear steps and small experiments.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with life changes, grief, and long-term coping strategies by teaching acceptance and valued action.
Dialetical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used for anger, self-regulation, and crises where practical skills are needed.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Brenda will help clients identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as people try things and report back.
