How her approaches guide online support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and work-related stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on helping people accept hard feelings while taking steps that match their values; it can be useful for coping with major life changes and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust, and it can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision may shift over time as new issues come up or progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also can help people attend sessions while managing work, caregiving, or other commitments. The therapist will discuss what pacing and format suit your routine and goals when you begin.
