How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, career decisions, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and improve focus during busy days.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needs change.
Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in the places where they need them most. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to a remote setting so sessions focus on clear steps and homework that fit everyday life.
