How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for strong emotional reactions or relationship strain.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This is an active process that can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a work break or between errands. They also let people use methods like skills practice and brief check-ins without needing longer in-person visits. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire to plan what will work best for your schedule and needs.
