How evidence-based approaches translate to remote sessions
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take actions that match those values. ACT often addresses avoidance, meaning, and motivation problems and can help with depression and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors. CBT focuses on patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and teaches step-by-step coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can reduce intense reactions and improve communication in close relationships.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. Adjustments are made based on how a person responds to the work.
