How Heather Uses ACT, CBT, and Trauma-Focused Therapy Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is commonly used for anxiety and depression and includes homework and skill practice. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic events and building coping strategies to reduce distress linked to past trauma.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather treats the choice as collaborative and will review what a person wants to change, what has helped before, and which methods fit their goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on progress and feedback.
