How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Hayley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters most. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping when life feels overwhelming.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT usually involves tracking patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what helps most.
