How Anna brings evidence-based work to online sessions

Anna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take values-driven actions even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. ACT often includes exercises that clarify values and build small, feasible steps tied to those values.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses. CBT sessions typically include short, practical experiments and skills practice that can be reviewed between meetings.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s life. Adjustments are made based on what helps most in real situations.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for check-ins during a break at work or between other obligations. Different approaches lend themselves to different rhythms - for example, CBT often uses brief between-session exercises, while ACT and somatic practices may include experiential exercises to try during or after a session.
