Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Mindfulness methods are used to build present-moment awareness. Simple exercises teach observation of sensations and thoughts, which can reduce reactivity and help with anger or impulsivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Francis will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Francis frames sessions around practical skills and small experiments that people can use between meetings, which many find straightforward to apply in daily life.
