How Joanne uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps in line with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and responses in adult life, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship issues.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Joanne will listen to your situation, try different ways of working, and agree together what feels most helpful. She uses short exercises and reflective conversation so you can see if an approach fits your goals and day-to-day life.
