Approaches That Guide Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and values and choose actions that matter to them. It is often used when someone wants to reduce struggle with strong feelings and live more in line with what they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the center and emphasizes empathy, listening, and building trust to support change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may combine strategies from different approaches and will adjust as needs evolve.
