How sessions work
How her approaches fit with online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and habit. It provides step-by-step techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving ambivalence and building motivation for change, which is often helpful with addictions and getting unstuck.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which mix of techniques to use and when to shift emphasis.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into daily life and more options for scheduling around work or caregiver duties. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking to know whether video or other options are offered. Online sessions can support regular skills practice, brief check-ins, and focused behavioral work without requiring long travel time.
