How her approaches translate to online work
Therapies used include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to lessen anger or anxiety. DBT adds concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and tolerating distress without acting on impulse. ACT invites people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values despite difficult feelings.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to see which approach or combination fits their goals and daily life. That means trying skills in session, getting feedback, and adjusting the plan based on what helps reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in contexts closer to their day-to-day routine, which can make exercises more immediately useful.
