How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to notice thought patterns and change unhelpful behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations. Client-Centered Therapy puts listening and empathy first, giving people space to make sense of their experience and identify their own solutions.

The choice of approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they can try an approach and adjust it as needed to find the best fit.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since explicit session formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session options when you schedule to match therapy to your everyday life.
