ACT and CBT approaches for flexible online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings by encouraging values-based action rather than avoidance. It is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, addiction and low self-esteem where avoidance keeps patterns in place. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and practising practical techniques to change them, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, trauma responses and problem behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and David works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore what feels most useful in the moment and adapt strategies over time to fit changing circumstances.
Providing therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support from wherever the person is located in Australia. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, continuity when life is busy, and multiple ways to engage depending on comfort and communication style, while allowing appropriately qualified or registered professionals to deliver evidence-informed care in a way that suits the individual.
