How Allison uses evidence-based methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to hold difficult thoughts and feelings with less struggle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and sensations and to respond rather than react, which can help with stress and panic.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, comfort level, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That planning happens together, and can shift as needs change.
