How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that reflect their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections; it can be useful for intimacy problems, communication struggles, and grief. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics of work, which supports people who need a steady, listening presence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which methods fit the goals, preferences, and comfort level. This may mean trying a few ideas and adjusting as progress is made.
The original biography indicates past experience working online but does not list specific current formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule during lunch breaks or between commitments. For people who prefer a conversational, relationship-focused approach, online work can still use practical exercises, values-based tasks, and communication skill practice to support change.
