BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These skills are helpful when strong emotions or conflict interfere with relationships or daily functioning.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That way sessions focus on what will be most useful in day-to-day life.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find virtual sessions help them practice skills in their normal routines while still working directly with a licensed professional.
