Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take practical steps toward those values. It often involves learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress and low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in close relationships and how these affect current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful for issues around attachment, abandonment, relationship difficulties and patterns of trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and works to replace them with more effective skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic and mood-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sima Patel works with clients to explore their needs, goals and preferences and adapts techniques from different models to find the best fit. Therapists and clients decide together how to proceed and tailor the plan over time.
