How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying what matters most and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions about work or relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and practical coping skills training.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for anger, relationship struggles, and emotion regulation challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will choose which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on how the client responds.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of doing therapy online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when that suits a work or school break. Online sessions can also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth, comfort with being on camera, and how they prefer to connect.
