How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match what they care about. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with stress, anger, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's listening and support so clients can find their own solutions and move toward goals that matter to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try strategies together to see what fits. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for people in different locations to meet with a licensed professional and try approaches like ACT and CBT without rearranging their whole day.
