Online approaches that combine acceptance and cognitive skills

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. This approach can help with anxiety, mood struggles, and difficulties with motivation or life purpose by teaching experiential exercises and flexible responses to distress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and emotional responses. CBT is often used for panic, mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges like impulsivity, and addiction-related patterns by teaching structured coping strategies and problem-solving techniques.

Finding the right combination of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to determine whether ACT, CBT, or a blend best fits their goals, symptoms, and daily routines, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across locations in Illinois. These formats support ongoing skill practice between sessions and flexible scheduling to accommodate different needs and life demands.
