Approaches that guide online work
Gabriel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete practices to change unhelpful patterns.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the relationship supportive and respectful. That means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead while offering reflections and practical suggestions. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; Gabriel will help pick approaches that match your goals and preferences as you try them out together.
