How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Online ACT sessions often emphasize practical exercises and short practices that people can use between meetings to handle stress and move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT often uses worksheets, step-by-step skill practice, and problem-solving to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people feel heard while they sort out choices. That approach guides the pace of sessions and supports people who want a calm, steady space to process concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then recommend a mix of methods. This is a collaborative choice and can be adjusted as needs change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks and reduce travel time. It can support steady homework practice, shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and a way to continue care during life transitions. Confirm the available session formats before booking to match timing and technology to what will work best for you.
