Therapeutic approaches for online work and practical care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and the kinds of life transitions that come with aging. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable parts and teaches skills to respond differently; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports their own problem-solving and growth.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different ideas and adjusting the approach over time.
