How CBT, ACT and client-centered work in online sessions
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behavioral experiments. CBT focuses on small, observable changes people can practice between sessions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the person, with the therapist following the client's lead.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques based on their goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions. That may mean more skills practice one week and values-based planning the next.
