How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while moving toward chosen values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the frustration that comes with addictive urges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current intimacy and communication, which can be useful for couples issues and closeness problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to keep, adapt, or combine approaches as progress is observed.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quicker check-ins, and messaging lets clients share brief thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain therapy when schedules are busy or when in-person visits are difficult.
