How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes that align with your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often using short exercises and practical homework to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathic listening to help people feel heard and to clarify their own goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Khara will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends elements from different approaches so sessions match what is most useful for the situation.

Licensed professionals can guide you in planning goals, practicing new skills between visits, and adjusting the approach as life changes.
