How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and living with difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce worry and low mood. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and improving everyday routines.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may include trying exercises, reviewing what worked, and adjusting the plan as life changes.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try talk-based methods from their usual environment while focusing on practical habit changes and skill practice.
