How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with guilt or shame that keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for panic, mood concerns, and persistent negative thinking.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then try methods that match those needs. Work can include brief practical tasks, in-session processing of emotions, and homework between meetings to practice new behaviors or perspectives.
Confirm current session options before booking.

Some formats can also make it easier to focus on verbal work without needing to be on camera. Ask about which session formats are offered when you sign up to choose what fits your routine.
