Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other commitments. Some formats use less bandwidth or are simpler for brief check-ins, while others allow longer, in-depth work. Talk with Kerry during the intake process to pick session types and scheduling that match everyday routines and therapeutic goals.
