How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions to build more purposeful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the individual’s experience and emphasizes empathy, listening, and support so people feel heard while they work toward change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Angela will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaborative process may include trying tools from different approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.
