Values-based therapy
Values-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on helping individuals identify what truly matters to them—such as relationships, personal growth, or health—and then align their actions with those values. Instead of solely reducing symptoms or distress, it emphasizes creating meaningful, value-driven life changes. The therapy encourages individuals to clarify their core values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings without avoidance, and take committed steps toward living in accordance with what they find important. This approach fosters a sense of purpose and fulfillment, empowering people to lead authentic and meaningful lives even amidst challenges.
