How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Lone works from a client-centered base, which means sessions focus on the client's perspective and strengths. In practice this looks like listening to what matters to the person, clarifying goals, and using straightforward feedback to guide next steps.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people clarify their values and take action toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool he uses; CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what leads to better day-to-day functioning.
