How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and making changes in daily habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for shifting unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships to improve connection and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then shape a plan that mixes techniques from different approaches when that fits the person’s needs. The process is collaborative and practical, with clear steps to try between sessions.
Session formats are not detailed in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Teletherapy can also let people use quieter surroundings, choose whether to use video or audio, and schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments.
