Remote therapy with ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques
Kenneth delivers online care that integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described in accessible terms as a way to clarify values and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
These approaches can be combined in a collaborative process shaped by the client’s goals. Clients who prefer concrete skill building, values exploration, or improved emotion management may find elements of this work useful. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their communication preferences.
Kenneth frames remote sessions as a partnership in which the client’s priorities guide session focus and skill practice between meetings. He adapts interventions to fit the person’s context and the chosen communication mode.
