How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and problems that come from trying to control unwanted thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, social fears, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide whether ACT, CBT, or a client-centered conversation style fits best. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life - for example, scheduling during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or using a shorter call when energy is low. Therapists often adapt exercises for remote sessions, such as guided mindfulness, brief behavioral experiments, and structured check-ins to track progress.
