Online support

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It is often useful for anxiety, life transitions, and situations where someone wants more meaning in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques, and then shape sessions together to match those needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a schedule. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, written exercises, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
