How Allison Uses Three Practical Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect. Sessions often include tracking patterns and trying small behavior changes to improve sleep, mood, or daily functioning.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used with trauma and painful memories to reduce their intensity and help people feel more grounded in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Allison will listen to concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
