How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can be useful for relationship struggles and issues like abandonment and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time based on what helps. That means sessions can shift between skills practice, values work, and relationship-focused conversations as needed.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also let people choose audio-only or video conversations depending on bandwidth, comfort, or the kind of work planned.
