How CBT, ACT and Mindfulness work online
Dr. Dobier often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into concrete steps. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings appear, which can help with life changes and motivation. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your goals and preferences, and then suggest practical tools to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so clients take an active role in choosing methods that fit their life.
