Integrating ACT and CBT in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical skills for change. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and improving confidence through structured strategies and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kayleigh works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from ACT and CBT to create a personalized plan and evaluates progress together with clients.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so care can fit into busy lives and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most effective for each individual.
