How Bonnie’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when painful thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood challenges, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people learn new ways of relating and managing emotions in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bonnie will listen to your situation, discuss options, and together decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying one approach and adjusting over time as needs change.
