Therapeutic approaches for online work and symptom relief
Wayne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. ACT focuses on values-based steps and learning to live with difficult feelings rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's pace. This approach helps build trust and gives space to talk through what feels most pressing in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wayne collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the mix of mindfulness, somatic awareness, and value-based exercises to what helps most in day-to-day life.
