Step 3
How approaches like ACT, CBT, and DBT work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and make choices that match their values. It focuses on building meaningful action even when emotions are strong and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It often includes short exercises and behavior experiments that translate well to remote sessions and daily life work.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and improving coping skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust the plan together as needs evolve.
