BHow sessions work
How Brittney uses ACT and CBT online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and relationship strains. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach works well for low mood, worry, and communication problems.The therapist will treat choosing an approach as a collaborative process. Together they will look at your main concerns, daily routines, and what you want to change. Brittney will suggest approaches and adjust them based on what the person reports and what shows practical progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice communication or parenting strategies in real time between sessions. Discuss practical needs and scheduling when you book so session structure matches everyday life.
