How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when coping with chronic health challenges, stress, or ongoing worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for intense emotions or relationship problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as progress is made. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan feels practical and personalized.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can guide which techniques will translate best to the chosen session format.
