How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression, and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It provides concrete techniques to reduce worry, improve mood, and change responses to stress and relationships. Finding the right method is part of the work together. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to choose or combine approaches that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so skills and insights match what a person actually needs. Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living far from in-person care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are options for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel, while still practicing the skills learned in therapy.
