She also addresses communication, control, and commitment struggles.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps people identify small changes that fit their daily life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process clear and manageable.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clearer about what matters most to them and then take steps that match those values. It is useful for grief, depression, and ongoing life stress where small, value-driven actions can change daily patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach is often used for anger, depression, and ADHD-related habits because it targets specific thoughts and routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as progress is made and needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video to read visual cues, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or ease of scheduling. Licensed professionals can help match the approach and format to daily life without promising a specific outcome.
