How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for midlife questions, stress, and making purposeful changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed discovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may mix techniques so clients get strategies that fit their pace and situation.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can also make it simpler to try tools between appointments and to build new routines that carry into daily life.
