How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from old habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience, giving space to talk things through while the therapist reflects and supports growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent work on habits between meetings, with tools and exercises to try in day-to-day life. Licensed professionals adapt methods so sessions remain focused and practical even when delivered remotely.
