She brings a focus on attachment and values-based action as part of longer-term change.

Step 3

How therapy methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people move forward when avoidance or shame gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are often used to address mood, anxiety, and behavior-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to individual needs and daily life demands.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Some people find brief check-ins or audio calls work better when video is difficult, while others prefer longer conversations that let them practice skills and review homework. Session format options were not detailed in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Overall, online sessions can make it simpler to maintain regular contact and keep momentum between visits.
