Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small steps towards them while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasises emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills to help when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and which methods match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and techniques are adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Approaches like mindfulness practice, behavioural experiments and values-based planning translate well to remote sessions, and techniques can be practised between appointments to support steady change.
