Her goal is to help people take steady steps toward calmer, more manageable days.

Therapy approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. It focuses on chosen values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anger, anxiety, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for stress, depression, and addiction concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and managing impulses. It is often used when anger or mood swings make everyday life harder.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on how the client responds.

Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to attend from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic methods described above, and the therapist will help adapt exercises and homework to an online setting.
