How Dr. Belhamel Uses Therapy Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve routines. It is often useful for stress, mood concerns, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a single fixed model. Clients can expect ongoing discussion about what helps and adjustments to the plan when needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques and homework between sessions so progress continues in daily life.
