How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a more meaningful life while learning to notice painful thoughts without being driven by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with experiments and practical exercises to reduce anxiety and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new challenges arise.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since current formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can guide practical homework, coach through skills practice, and help apply techniques to everyday situations via remote appointments.
