How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Translate Online
Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking and behavior patterns that increase distress and to practice small, testable changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills like thought records, behavioral experiments, and action plans to manage anxiety, depression, or stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult feelings without trying to eliminate them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and to let goals guide the pace and topics of work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Connie works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and what to try first. That planning is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
