How her approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and career decisions by focusing on meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how people connect and communicate in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EFT techniques to remote sessions, helping clients practice skills, set goals, and track changes between meetings.
