Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This works well for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they connect with others, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they will adjust based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and tailored to the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or mobility is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions, or when a written format feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
