How her approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. This can help with anxiety, low motivation, and patterns that keep people from moving forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and mood, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and problems with daily habits. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape expectations and interaction styles, and it can help people improve connection and trust in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to try and when to adjust them.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as session options are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. It can also allow for brief check-ins or focused skills practice when a shorter session is helpful. Licensed professionals use these practical advantages to help people build new habits and address everyday thoughts and behaviors.
