How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or uncertainty get in the way of making life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try approaches that fit the client's needs and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or solution-focused techniques to keep sessions focused and useful.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten routine check-ins, avoid travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between classes. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, thought-record tools, and short skills practice to remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
