How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep issues. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses to ensure the approach stays useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and let people meet between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues across settings.
