How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and life changes where someone wants a clearer sense of direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It’s commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and stress by building skills to change thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can help with anger, relationship strain, and overwhelming emotional states.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday constraints, and then recommend which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process and may be adjusted as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
