How Irene Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their values and take small steps toward them despite uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with chronic stress, anxiety, and major life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful action and away from unhelpful avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and difficulties managing day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Irene uses a collaborative process to figure out what fits each person’s goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps, adjust strategies over time, and combine elements from different approaches as needed.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and caregiving routines. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, schedule appointments around work or school, and avoid travel time. The therapist will work with clients to shape appointments that match daily life while focusing on clear, actionable steps.
