How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and notice thoughts without getting stuck in them; it is useful for guilt, shame, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments; it can help with anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches depending on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice new communication skills in real time and bring issues from daily life into session discussion without needing to rearrange a whole day.
