How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small actions toward those values. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts, choosing actions that match priorities, and building flexibility in daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include tracking patterns, testing new behaviors between meetings, and practicing skills during calls or video meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone relates to others; it can include mindfulness and emotion regulation exercises done between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns and preferences and discuss which methods feel most useful. Over several sessions she adjusts the focus based on what helps you make real changes toward your goals.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing skills practice between meetings and keeps the focus on concrete tools and values-based steps that translate into everyday life.
