How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions because it focuses on action tied to what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused work focuses on emotions and attachment patterns in relationships and can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If something doesn’t feel useful, she will adjust the plan together with the client so work stays practical and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between meetings, or letting sessions happen from a location that reduces interruptions. It can also support regular attendance during workday breaks or when someone is traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and relationship work to an online setting while keeping the focus on achievable steps and clear goals.
