How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions that match those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention from battling thoughts to living a meaningful life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and changing painful emotional patterns. It supports people who want to understand recurring relationship or intimacy struggles and to alter how they respond emotionally.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts strategies as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer disruptions from travel. Online meetings can allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, reduce time spent commuting, and make it simpler to keep continuity during busy seasons.
