In sessions she aims to be collaborative and concrete, offering practical tools from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Her style is direct and respectful, focusing on clear goals and usable skills. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical ways to change behaviors and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to create a supportive space for problem solving.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then try methods that fit. If something doesn’t feel helpful, they adjust the plan together so the work matches real life needs.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use virtual sessions to teach coping skills, practice handling difficult conversations, and track progress between meetings, all while focusing on realistic, actionable steps.
