How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values and take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful when anger or avoidance get in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with stress, anxiety, and anger by providing concrete skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can reduce intensity in heated moments and improve interpersonal responses. Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on how helpful they are. Clients and the therapist review progress together and select tools that fit daily life and priorities. Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific options are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and use short check-ins when needed. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or let people join without being on camera. These practical benefits help people apply skills between sessions and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.Areas of focus
