How Stephanie’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. ACT supports values-based choices and can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors useful for stress, depression, and addiction. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then help decide which methods to try. The plan can change over time based on what helps most in real life.
