Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions in that direction while learning to live with difficult feelings. It is often used when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

They also let people use tools and worksheets during the session and practice skills between meetings.
