How Dr. Quallich uses CBT, ACT, and client-centered care online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify values to guide action. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating major life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting working relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. They combine methods and adjust the plan over time so the therapy fits the person’s needs and day-to-day life.
