Approaches used online and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when you feel stuck during big life changes or unsure about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. This approach is useful for stress, worry, and problems like anger or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and preferences and will adapt methods during the first sessions. That makes the plan a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm which session formats she currently offers before scheduling, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone options differently depending on bandwidth, comfort on camera, or how much time they have between classes or shifts. Licensed professionals typically help clients choose the format that best suits their daily routines and goals.
