How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that line up with their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent shame or guilt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection to help a person make sense of their experience and decide what matters next.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works collaboratively to test methods and pick what fits a person's goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT ideas with CBT exercises and client-centered conversations until a practical mix emerges.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments around work or caregiving, use fewer trips, and choose a quieter setting with less time spent traveling. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can make shorter check-ins easier, while video sessions allow visual cues when helpful. The therapist will discuss which format best supports each person's needs and daily schedule.
