How her approaches inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. In practice this can help when someone feels stuck by anxiety, depression, or big life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them, which supports emotion regulation and stress reduction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative - plans can be adjusted as progress or challenges emerge.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let the therapist assign practice exercises that fit daily life, so skills get used between meetings rather than only during them.
