How his approaches are used in online therapy

Oran commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then act in ways that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits that ease stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the person. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as the work progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to schedule around work or caring responsibilities and to choose less visually demanding options if that helps concentration.
