How her approaches work online and in session

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice what matters most and to take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, using reflective listening to help people find their own solutions and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking what helps most over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, support shorter check-ins during a workday, or reduce travel time. Discussing practical needs and scheduling options at the start helps shape a plan that fits daily routines and therapeutic goals.
