How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness Can Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps people get unstuck by noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses simple skill practice to reduce anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and comfort. That may mean trying brief CBT techniques for immediate relief, layering in mindfulness for emotion regulation, or using ACT exercises for values-driven change.
