How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while managing painful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address traumatic memories by combining focused recall with specific kinds of bilateral stimulation to reduce distress around those memories.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they will try methods and adjust over time until the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use approaches like CBT homework, ACT value exercises, or EMDR processing without rearranging a full day. Ask about practical scheduling and format details during the matching process to find what matches everyday life.
