How approaches like CBT, ACT, and Attachment work online
Dr. Manocchio integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce distress and improve functioning.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which teaches skills for accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action. ACT can be helpful for coping with chronic worry, trauma-related distress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and emotional bonds, supporting work on attachment issues, family dynamics, and communication concerns.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to test methods, adjust techniques, and combine elements from different approaches according to the person's goals, preferences, and responses to treatment.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing therapists to adapt interventions like CBT exercises, ACT practices, and attachment-focused conversations to remote sessions.
