Online support options
How her therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where direction and motivation feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some eating or addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions, emphasizing listening and empathy to help people feel understood.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and try methods that fit their preferences. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what helps most, so clients take part in shaping the work.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and work well for a walk or a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum when life is busy.
