How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting hooked by them, then choose actions that line up with their values. It can be useful for persistent anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and closeness with others. This approach can help with intimacy, communication problems, and self-esteem.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust techniques over time so sessions match changing needs and real-life demands.
Confirm the specific online session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during life transitions. It also lets people try different ways of working - for example more skill-focused sessions or deeper relationship work - and see what helps most.
