How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Bowen uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anger that shows up as snapping, workplace stress, or persistent negative thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help when anger gets in the way of relationships or goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT skills for immediate coping, then adding ACT techniques or other interventions as goals evolve.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - a shorter check-in can work during a lunch break or a phone conversation may be used when bandwidth is limited. Talk with her about scheduling and the practical session style that makes sense for daily routines.
