How ACT, CBT, and DBT are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on actions that match what matters to the person and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to test new beliefs, which is helpful for mood and worry problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Those skills can help with overwhelming moods and recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kiara will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face without travel, phone calls can fit a break at work, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps keep a running conversation between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills in everyday moments.
