Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unwanted thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and committed action, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, for shorter check-ins during a break, or when they prefer not to travel to appointments. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation during the meeting.
