How her methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take actions that reflect those values. It often involves exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck and choosing small steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It uses structured work like activity scheduling, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and the types of tasks the client is willing to try. They will choose methods together and adjust them over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their usual surroundings and return to material between meetings. Ask about specific session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what formats are offered.
