How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses exercises to test unhelpful beliefs. It often helps with social anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be helpful with relationship problems and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist treats it as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as needed so work feels manageable and relevant.

Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try skills in real-world settings between sessions and bring concrete situations into the conversation for practice and feedback.
