How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to act in ways that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep issues and depression. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a non-judgemental, listening stance so the person feels understood and can explore what matters most to them. It often supports building self-esteem and clearer decision making.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals and personal preferences and then suggest an approach to try. Sessions are collaborative, so the plan can be adjusted if something does not fit well for the individual.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier around work or family life. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Text-based messaging and live chat let people work in brief moments during the day without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity when travel or time zones would otherwise be a barrier.
