How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where finding meaning is important.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. That approach is often used for anxiety, panic, mood challenges, and sleep problems.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change patterns in how they respond to strong emotions and relationship stress. It can help with attachment issues, communication problems, and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they’ll try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them continue therapy through life transitions and when juggling caregiving, work, or medical needs.
