How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take concrete steps toward a meaningful life. It focuses on actions you can start practicing now, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, such as mood tracking and behavior experiments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding emotions in close relationships and improving connection through guided conversation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. Together they adjust methods over time so therapy meets evolving needs.

They also let people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring results back into sessions for discussion and adjustment.
