Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when uncertainty, avoidance, or low motivation are getting in the way of daily goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and helps people test out new ways of responding to old patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations in current relationships. It can be useful for intimacy problems, relationship conflict, and attachment issues that affect adult connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will discuss different methods and help decide which ones match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and priorities shift.
