How these approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action aligned with those values while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggest which methods to try first. If an approach does not fit, adjustments are made together as work progresses.
Telehealth sessions are mentioned in his background, but specific formats beyond telehealth are not listed. Before booking, confirm the exact session options offered at the time. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time, which helps maintain regular contact and follow-through on skills between sessions.
