How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without letting those thoughts dictate actions. It focuses on values-based choices and is useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into small parts to change them with practical exercises like thought records and behavioral experiments. This is often used for anxiety, phobias, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance through skills like grounding and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor short-term problem solving or longer work on recurring patterns.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different days and needs. Video is helpful for full conversations and skills coaching, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or short exercises between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
