How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and decisions about work or money. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change long-standing ways of relating when those patterns cause distress.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
