Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward what matters despite difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns that began in early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional regulation; it can be helpful for attachment concerns, relationship challenges, and trauma-related struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and stress-related issues.
