How CBT and ACT are used in online sessions

CBT sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, brief experiments, and homework that you can practice between meetings.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify their values and take purposeful actions, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT emphasizes noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and committing to steps that reflect what matters most.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Garry will discuss what feels most useful based on your goals and preferences and may blend CBT and ACT techniques. The plan is shaped over the first few sessions so you can see what fits and adjust as needed.
