Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Dana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can help when anxiety or avoidance limits daily life. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit those goals and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real life.
