How Kerry’s approaches translate to online sessions
Kerry commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more helpful alternatives to change feelings and behavior.The best approach is a collaborative choice. Kerry will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He often combines techniques so sessions match what a person wants to accomplish and how they prefer to learn and practice skills.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins between longer visits, and help people keep continuity during moves or schedule changes. If you plan to use online care, confirm the available session options before booking so you know how Kerry is offering sessions at that time.
