Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps when people feel stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure how to act on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding important relationship patterns and improving emotional connection and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggest methods to try. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and can shift as progress is tracked.
