She centers the person's priorities and keeps the pace set by the person in the room. Anne uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also incorporates acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and support action, plus solution-focused techniques for concrete problem solving.

Online support

How Annie blends approaches for online work

Anne draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT focuses on practical exercises and keeps sessions goal-oriented, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood concerns.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. ACT emphasizes mindful noticing and committed action, useful for stress, trauma reactions, and chronic health challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process helps shape a practical course of sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
