Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when strong emotions appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people notice urges before acting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their goals, daily life, and what they find most useful. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a few sessions, then adding mindfulness or ACT ideas if needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten commutes, or avoid needing to travel for a single check‑in. Some formats use less bandwidth and may be better for quick problem checks, while others work well when longer skills practice is needed. Discuss format choices when scheduling so sessions match practical needs and preferences.
