How her approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings. It can help with grief, coping with life changes, and persistent anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills and can help with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from these approaches to the client’s needs. Clients and the therapist check in together and shift methods if something isn’t helping.

The biography mentions availability by message, phone, or text, so confirm which online session options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in everyday settings and bring real-life challenges into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
