Step 3
Approaches that guide online work and choice
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skill-building by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps repair how people connect with others, which can reduce conflict and improve intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new issues come up.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and caregiving, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
