How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and outcomes. It is often used for anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects their experience back to them.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tiffany will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
