How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action toward what matters most. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more connected interactions with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try strategies that fit the client. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as needs shift.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because this profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick progress review is helpful. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so skills transfer directly into daily routines.
