BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and choosing small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for stress and depression. Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to reduce blame and increase agency.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match what the client needs. Sessions often include reviewing concrete steps, practicing short exercises, and checking progress so adjustments can be made collaboratively.
Session formats and scheduling should be confirmed before booking, as current options are listed in the directory process. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow brief check-ins around work or caregiving, and remove travel time. Ask about the session options available and how they can fit into your everyday schedule.
