How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and choose small actions that reflect those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems where avoidance has become a pattern.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often applied to panic, obsessive thoughts, mood issues, and many forms of anxiety.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. This approach supports people who need a clear space to sort through decisions and feelings.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans may mix techniques so sessions are practical and actionable.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-in meetings, or avoid travel. It also lets therapists assign digital exercises and review progress between sessions.
