People who want a direct but empathetic style may find her helpful. She encourages small experiments between sessions and clear, down-to-earth discussions about progress and setbacks. The aim is to help people regain a sense of control and move toward lives that feel more aligned with their values.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how past relationships influence current ways of relating and can be useful for worries about trust, closeness and repeated relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and may combine ideas from different methods to suit what a person needs. They will check in about what works and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and allowing shorter check-ins when a full session is difficult. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist to agree on a rhythm and setup that matches everyday commitments.
