How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-based relationship where the therapist reflects what the client brings and supports self-directed insight.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try approaches that fit the situation. Adjustments are made along the way so sessions respond to what helps most.
