Therapy approaches and how online work can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn small actions that match those values. It’s often used for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method concentrates on concrete communication and relationship skills to reduce conflict and improve connection in partnerships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica will collaborate with each person to pick and adapt methods that match goals and preferences. That process can include trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from a place with fewer distractions. It also widens access to therapists who use these specific approaches and makes scheduling more flexible around work, caregiving, or travel.
