Approaches for online grief, trauma, and life change work
Emily commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, concrete steps in that direction. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and it can be useful for grief, anxiety, and shifts in life roles.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction related changes.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to techniques, then adjust the plan over time. Clients are invited to try skills between sessions and report back so the work can be shaped together.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options when you book since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which often helps learning carry over into everyday routines.
