How Allison Uses ACT and CBT Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In practice this means identifying values, practicing simple exercises, and committing to actions that match those values to reduce avoidance and stuck patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying different responses, and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps mood and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She mixes mindfulness, solution-focused tools, ACT, and CBT as needed, and adjusts plans if something isn’t working.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or an appointment that avoids travel. It also lets clients use mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments between meetings so changes can be tried in everyday routines.
