How her therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. Online ACT can support coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by practicing small value-based steps between sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Delivered over video or messaging, CBT teaches concrete skills for anxiety reduction, mood management, and anger control through homework and real-life practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation and distress tolerance strategies. In online sessions DBT skills can be taught and rehearsed, helping people manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change if something is not working.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face, phone sessions can fit a break in a busy day, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or lower-bandwidth needs. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family life.
