How her approaches are used in online sessions
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their thoughts, emotions, and body sensations with less reactivity. In practice this might mean brief breathing or grounding exercises and learning to label experiences so anxiety and stress feel more manageable. It can help with anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms.Internal Family Systems treats thoughts and feelings as parts that have roles and intentions. Sessions involve mapping those parts, listening to their concerns, and helping them shift unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with trauma reactions, addictions, and internal conflict about choices or identity.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Over the first few sessions she will adjust methods so they fit the person’s pace and needs.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that avoid travel. Therapists can adapt mindfulness exercises and parts work to a remote setting, using verbal guidance, screen-shared worksheets, or brief at-home practices to support change.
