She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image, substance use, and questions about life purpose and meaning. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for life transitions, midlife questions, and chronic patterns that hold people back. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationships to understand current emotional responses and aims to build more secure ways of relating and coping with loss or abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and feels heard as they find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods as therapy unfolds to find what fits best for the client’s situation.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps keep momentum. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect from different locations. Practical tools like worksheets and between-session exercises can be shared to support progress between appointments.
