How Cindy’s approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. It often includes homework like tracking moods, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck on them and clarifying personal values. It is useful for people who feel stuck, are facing life transitions, or want to reduce avoidance of uncomfortable feelings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that can cause repeated conflict or loneliness. Conversations aim to map those patterns and try new ways of connecting that feel more reliable and manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to use based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That selection can shift as progress is made and new challenges emerge.
