How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then focus on actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with chronic health concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily life. It often helps with sleep, worry, and mood management. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and helps people build safer, more satisfying bonds in their present relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randee approaches treatment collaboratively and will help clients try methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She discusses how different strategies might help and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what will be offered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins at work, or reduce travel time. The focus remains on learning practical skills, improving communication, and testing new ways of handling stress and relationship challenges.
