She draws on research-based methods to help people change habits, manage strong emotions, and improve communication.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and shifting behaviors through concrete exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for managing intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing a method is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and challenges and then suggest approaches that fit. That plan can shift over time as progress is tracked and new needs arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone meetings can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text sessions let clients check in between meetings or use shorter, frequent exchanges for coaching and skill reminders. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum while working on anxiety, habits, relationships, and life transitions.
