I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I find ACT can directly help you change behavior and IFS can help you have a more harmonious internal experience. I start with assessing and supporting stability in your life by helping you eat, sleep, exercise, and socialize well. This helps you to have the stability to support change.
