How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger management, and mood symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach for processing traumatic memories and intense emotional reactions; it can be used when trauma or past events keep causing distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, current concerns, and preferences. Sessions can combine approaches over time as needs change, with progress tracked through concrete goals and skills practice.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide short skill-focused sessions or longer trauma-focused work depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
