Aneesah uses Reality Therapy as a practical, action-oriented approach, emphasizing present-moment choices and personal responsibility.

Crucially, ACT empowers clients to clarify their core values and commit to values-driven action, enabling them to create richer, more meaningful lives, even in the presence of discomfort.
