How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose and adjust methods based on a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include discussion, practice exercises, and planning for real-life steps to try between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with face-to-face conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief updates, coaching-style prompts, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
