Using Different Therapies in Online Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that match those values. It can help with life transitions, low motivation, and ongoing worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what the client says to promote insight and self-direction.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cassandra will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
