How her approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and take meaningful action despite them. It focuses on values and small behavior changes that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection and helps people build safer ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family routines are less disrupted. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and help clients practice new habits between sessions.
