How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, and then take actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and decisions about career or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with grief, chronic pain, or compassion fatigue.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose sessions that match their energy level that day, such as an audio session when not wanting to be on camera, or a full video session for deeper interaction. Licensed professionals can help clients shape a plan that fits their needs and routines.
