CBT is practical and can reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems by changing behaviors and thinking patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when unpleasant feelings remain. ACT can be useful for coping with grief, chronic stress, caregiver burden, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose techniques that fit their situation. Decisions about methods and homework are made collaboratively and adjusted over time.
