How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships or work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and intimacy. It can help when attachment, abandonment, or blended family issues come up.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods feel helpful. Together the client and therapist will try strategies and adjust them based on what works in practice.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth and comfort. Ask about evening and weekend times when completing the matching questionnaire to align sessions with your routine.
