How ACT, CBT, and DBT can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often supports people who feel stuck by teaching small, practical steps toward a more meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns that feed problems like anxiety, depression, and anger. Sessions usually include simple behavioral experiments and homework to test new ways of responding.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It offers concrete tools for calming down, communicating clearly, and staying steady during crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques as progress is made and goals shift.
