How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it works well for mood, anxious thoughts, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try strategies in session, and adjust the plan over time. Together they decide which combination of ACT, CBT, or DBT techniques fits best for the concern at hand.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let clients practice skills in real time and maintain face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and brief live chat or text messaging can help with quick check-ins or skill reminders between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy days and to keep momentum while working toward goals.
