How ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. Online ACT sessions often include mindfulness practices and exercises to reduce avoidance and increase willingness to face difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. In virtual sessions clients learn simple behavioral tasks and thought-record techniques they can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and pacing. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports the client’s process while they set the goals and direction for therapy.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints rather than prescribing one fixed method.
