How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. It focuses on building willingness to face difficult thoughts and moving toward a more meaningful life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with clearer thinking and practical actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be useful when strong emotions make daily functioning harder.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. Sessions can combine techniques from different approaches based on what helps most.
