How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take small committed actions toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to change everyday habits and reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape closeness and trust and helps people try new ways of relating in present relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then suggests approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone join from a quieter space. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments so practical tools can be used between sessions.
