Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based actions despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It uses exercises to notice thoughts and choose meaningful behavior rather than getting stuck in avoidance.Somatic Therapy pays attention to how stress and trauma show up in the body. Techniques may include tracking sensations, grounding practices, and movement-based strategies to reduce physical tension and support emotional processing.
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing distressing experiences in a paced way that reduces reactivity and helps people make sense of what happened. It often combines narrative work with skills to manage intense feelings and bodily responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting interventions over time as progress is reviewed.
