How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It focuses on small, workable steps and is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to create practical change through skill-building and short exercises useful for stress, depression, and everyday habits. Emotion-focused methods help people connect their feelings to relationship or grief work and can be paired with other approaches when emotions are the central concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new issues come up.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know the options offered. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days because sessions can be scheduled around work or family rhythms and may reduce travel. Online sessions also make it simpler to keep short, focused check-ins or to use longer weekly appointments when change takes more time. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and workable for everyday life rather than on any single format.
