04Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical alternatives to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss these methods with clients and decide together which fits best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying tools from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how and when people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel and to practice skills in real life between sessions.
