How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions and emphasizes practical steps you can take day to day.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers acceptance, and helps people find their own solutions - this can be useful when someone needs a safe space to sort feelings and make decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to reduce worry, shift negative thinking, and change behavior patterns that get in the way of goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a mix of approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
For practical online work, confirm the exact session options before booking. Her profile notes voice-only sessions, so ask about other formats if you prefer them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during breaks or between commitments. They also let people try techniques in real-life settings and bring reflections back to the next meeting for practical troubleshooting and growth.
