Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck when making career or life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways to connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest an approach or a mix of methods. This decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays relevant.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time around work or caregiving. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistent follow-up and practicing skills between meetings.
