Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Sue commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and help people respond more calmly to upsetting situations.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated life patterns and relationships that shape current struggles. That approach helps people make sense of long-standing feelings and responses while combining insight with practical coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences. Sessions can mix skills training with reflective conversations so the plan evolves as progress is made.
