How her approaches shape online sessions
Her work combines a few evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify personal values and develop flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions, useful for life transitions and chronic worry.She also incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those skills fit a clients goals. Narrative techniques and motivational interviewing may be used to explore values, increase motivation for change, and reframe experiences. Brainspotting is noted as an option in some cases.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches to try. That recommendation can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting care into a busy week, shorter check-ins between in-person visits, or accessing a therapist who understands first responder stress and addiction concerns. Online work can support skills practice, thought monitoring, and guided processing without requiring travel.
