How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and past successes to build momentum toward clearer goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Dr. Hancock will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods if something isn’t working. The process is a back-and-forth to find what helps most in daily life.
