How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, life changes, and caregiving stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads the pace and priorities of each session. This approach supports people processing grief, parenting concerns, or relationship issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sally will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That exploration can happen over the first few sessions and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also help people attend from another location when in-person visits are difficult. Ask about scheduling, time-zone considerations, and which session lengths are offered when arranging the first appointment.
