BHow sessions work
How Jo Uses ACT, CBT and Emotion-Focused Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that fit their values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or life transitions make normal activities hard to do.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, OCD patterns, phobias, and low mood by teaching specific strategies to change behavior and thought habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with emotions to improve how someone understands themselves and their close relationships. It can be useful for people who want clearer emotional awareness and better ways to respond to strong feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the first few sessions. The therapist and client will review current problems, goals, and daily constraints, then try methods that seem to fit. Adjustments are normal as progress and preferences become clearer.
Session logistics are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available session formats before booking.
