How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting the focus from avoiding feelings to living a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and behavior. That perspective can help people understand repeated patterns in relationships and develop new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more workable strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and what shows early effectiveness, then adjust methods as needed. Clients help set priorities and try tools to see what fits their life.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Some people find video useful for face-to-face interaction, while audio or phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between meetings, helping therapy feel practical and usable.
