How ACT and client-centered work in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them. It uses exercises and everyday experiments to clarify values and to choose actions that matter despite difficult emotions. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and uses reflective listening to identify what they want to change and why.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns and preferences and together you will choose techniques that fit your goals. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed over time.
