How Charlotte uses ACT, DBT and Client-Centred ideas online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety and patterns that keep someone stuck in avoidance. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person’s experience back so they can make their own sense of things. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for regulating intense emotions and managing distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss these methods with the client and decide together which fit the current needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as the client’s situation evolves.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. Some formats use video for face-to-face conversation, while others use audio or text options which can be better when bandwidth or comfort with being on camera is an issue. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and DBT skills to work over distance and focus on practical tools that can be used between sessions.
