How Kate Uses Client-Centered, ACT, and CBT Online
Client-centered therapy places the person at the center of the work. It emphasizes listening, understanding the client's experience, and helping people set their own goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to change behaviors and emotions, which can help with anxiety, mood, and some trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
