How Dani’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions by encouraging practical action alongside acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers tools to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress management and gives clear skills to practise between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and intimacy, which can be useful for people struggling with relationships and self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dani will listen to what you need and may use one or more methods to fit your goals and preferences. She works collaboratively, checking in about what helps and adjusting the focus as you progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth or screen time is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
