Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it focuses on choosing actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants clearer direction in life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior to teach practical skills for mood and anxiety problems. It often involves short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting.

Attachment-Based Therapy brings attention to relationship patterns that began early in life and helps people shift how they relate to others and to themselves. This can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and problems rooted in attachment wounds.

Margaret works collaboratively to find the best fit among these approaches. She will help you decide which methods match your goals, needs, and preferences, and adapt them as you progress. That way therapy stays practical and relevant to your life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visibility matters. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule care around daily life and responsibilities.
