Online approaches that focus on thoughts and habits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and dealing with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for anger, intense emotions, and coping with overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bridgett will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. Together they set objectives and try tools to see what helps most, adjusting the plan when needed.
