How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-based steps even when emotions are strong. It is often useful for anxiety, life changes, and low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It helps with panic, anxiety, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s experience guides the work and strengths are highlighted.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, between-session coaching, or shorter reflections when scheduling or travel make longer sessions hard to manage. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine while still using ACT, CBT, and client-centered work.
