How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most. It focuses on values and small, consistent actions to reduce the impact of stress and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop different ways of relating and responding when they feel triggered.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That conversation guides whether more ACT, CBT, or attachment work is emphasized over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings that match a work break, and it can make it easier for people to access a therapist while living in different parts of Florida. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
