How his approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps that match those values. It is often used when anxiety, depression, or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior with practical exercises. CBT can help with sleep problems, mood, and managing stressful thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sean will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what feels most useful. This collaborative process looks at goals, daily challenges, and what kind of support the person prefers.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, skip travel time, and keep a consistent meeting rhythm. They also support attending classes or support groups when those are offered. Talk with Sean about your schedule and preferences so sessions can be organized to match everyday life.
