Step 3
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, depression and finding direction after big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical strategies and small experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like worry, low mood and addiction urges.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape emotional responses. It can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment difficulties and improving communication with close others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ideas. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt as things change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the precise session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. It also lets people try approaches from home or during a break at work while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional skills.
