How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Work Well Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck so clients can move toward meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and often involves homework and skill practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance. It pairs well with ACT and CBT when someone wants tools to stay calm and focused during stressful times.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patrick will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their goals, values, and everyday life. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting them based on what helps most.
