Approach to Therapy and Online Care
Max integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying values and steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Max works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques from different approaches to match each person's situation and pace.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other settings, maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and select the communication style that feels most supportive.
