Step 3
How her approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and then taking small steps in that direction even when feelings are difficult. It helps people cope with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and improving connection in relationships; in individual work it helps people notice emotion-driven patterns and try new responses.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach or combination feels most useful. That choice is based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences, and it can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that line up with work or caregiving schedules. Some people prefer sessions that focus on skills practice, while others use sessions for deeper emotional processing. The therapist will help shape session pacing and content so therapy fits everyday life.
