How her approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that fuel distress and then practicing concrete alternatives to shift those patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss these methods, and work with you to pick strategies that match your goals and values. Adjustments are made as you go so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow people to join sessions from a familiar setting. It also lets therapists share worksheets, practice skills between sessions, and focus sessions on concrete coping strategies that transfer to daily life.
