How Daniel uses talk therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when anxiety or low motivation gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing small changes to shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the client’s priorities lead the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will explore goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.
