How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them. It can help when someone feels directionless after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches over time so the person can see what helps most in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their usual surroundings and bring real situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused on what matters next.
