Ann meets each client where they are and adjusts the pace to what feels manageable.

Step 3
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them and then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and listening, giving people space to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one way from the start.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows sessions to proceed when someone is away from their usual setting, which can help maintain continuity of care and regular progress.
