How Keisha uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, avoidance patterns, and problems rooted in family roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and offers concrete skills to change patterns linked to anxiety, depression, or impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotion regulation.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what works. Keisha draws on these methods to create short exercises and real-life homework that fit the client's day-to-day demands.
