How her approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. From that conversation she will suggest ways to use ACT, CBT, or DBT techniques in sessions and in everyday life, adapting the plan as needs change.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems happen and bring what they notice back into sessions for discussion.
