How her approaches translate to online sessions
Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life, which helps when worry or avoidance get in the way. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what fits the person's everyday life.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday routine, shorten travel time, or choose a quieter setting for focused work. These practical benefits can make it simpler to attend regularly and practice skills between sessions.
