How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that fits those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used when people struggle with persistent worry, avoidance, or painful emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with mood and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and which methods feel workable. Together they can try techniques, track how they help, and adjust the plan over time.
