Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, practical steps toward a life that matters to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful when trust, intimacy, or abandonment concerns come up.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie works with clients to choose methods that match their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer. Clients help set priorities so sessions feel focused and useful.
