How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and work-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as needs evolve, so the process stays collaborative.
