Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. Online sessions can include exercises to recognize unhelpful thinking and set value-based goals that guide everyday choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or low mood. In remote sessions the therapist can guide thought records, behavior experiments, and homework that clients can practice between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through short practices that reduce reactivity. These techniques are easy to learn on video or by phone and can be used during stressful moments throughout the day.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation and practice of skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief, on-the-go options for updates, coaching, or homework support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and day-to-day life.
