She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s goals and pace. When needed, elements from dialectical behavior therapy are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Angela structures sessions to be practical and straightforward. She helps people set small, achievable steps and check progress together. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to eliminate them, then choose actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current stress and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and use a collaborative process to decide which methods make the most sense. Sessions can mix approaches so the work fits the client’s pace and aims.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats also use less bandwidth or don’t require being on camera, which can help on days when a quick or quieter session is preferable.
