How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take steps toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication; it can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathryn will work with each person to try approaches that match their goals and preferences. She checks in on how a method is working and adjusts plans based on what helps in real life.
