How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. It focuses on values-guided action and can be useful for frustration, anger, and decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and links them to behavior. It uses concrete exercises to test beliefs and develop new responses to stress and anxious thoughts.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them make sense of their own experience. This approach supports clearer communication and self-directed goals when anger affects relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. That conversation happens early and continues as needs change.
