How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, practical steps toward them. It helps when life feels stuck or when decisions clash with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on noticing thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. It is useful for stress, mood, and many day-to-day struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what is helping and adjusts techniques over time rather than committing to one method from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, let people keep appointments from different locations, and reduce travel time. They also allow for varied pacing, from shorter check-ins to full therapy hours, which can help fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
