How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters to them. In online sessions this can mean setting clear values-based goals and practicing short exercises between meetings to build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse and then testing small changes. It works well over video or phone because homework and thought records can be reviewed together and adjusted in real time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She reviews goals and preferences with each person and tailors methods collaboratively. Sometimes sessions begin with client-centered listening and then move into CBT or ACT techniques as skills are developed. The client and therapist decide together what feels helpful and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, while phone calls can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, skill coaching, or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on useful skill building and steady progress.
