You may be looking for “compatibilist free will”.  Which basically considers libertarian free will to be incoherent.  And suggests that we are free to the extent that we can choose in accordance with our beliefs, convictions, wants, but we cannot choose what those are.

That is it in a couple of sentences anyway.

There used to be an actual philosopher who would haunt and man this forum and if he hadn’t been around in a while, you could look in a mirror and say “compatibilist free will” 3 times, and he would appear on this forum to answer your questions.

I don’t know if he is still around.
