How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current connection patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and abandonment or attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together with the client decide which methods to emphasize. This lets sessions stay focused on what the client needs right now instead of forcing a single model.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, homework, and tracking between sessions so progress carries over into everyday life.
