How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses less on removing thoughts and more on making room for them while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience so they feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time if something isn’t helping.

The biography does not specify which online or in-person session formats Todd currently offers, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down travel time, or allow for a shorter check-in when needed. Some people prefer video to work on emotional expression, while others value phone sessions for lower bandwidth or less on-camera time. A collaborative conversation at the start will clarify what format best supports your daily life.
