How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking action that lines up with what matters. It can help with stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck during early adult transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks patterns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, offering a collaborative place to talk through relationship and identity questions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to figure out what methods fit their needs and goals, and may blend elements from different models as appropriate. The first sessions typically include a chance to describe priorities and try a few techniques to see what helps.
