How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, purposeful actions. Online ACT sessions typically include values exercises and behavioral steps to address anxiety, depression, or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting what the person says. In virtual sessions this means longer space to talk and to have responses shaped around the client’s perspectives. Mindfulness-based work uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These exercises can be taught, practiced, and reviewed during remote sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That assessment is collaborative and may change as progress is tracked. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins when life gets hectic. They can also allow work that alternates between conversational therapy and short mindfulness or behavioral practice between sessions.Sheet 3
