How Geraldine’s Approaches Work Online

Geraldine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. ACT often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while moving toward what someone cares about in daily life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, anger, and low mood with step-by-step practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Geraldine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to choose methods that fit. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as needed.

If you want online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people appreciate that online work can fit more easily into a busy day, make it simpler to have brief check-ins during a lunch break, or reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and practical needs when you start so sessions can be arranged to match everyday life.
