How Adam uses ACT, CBT and EFT in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is helpful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes make choices feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It is commonly used for stress, social anxiety, and building self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotion patterns in relationships and increasing emotional awareness to improve closeness and regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adam will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. He treats the choice of approach as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on how clients respond.
