How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It focuses on increasing meaningful activity even when emotions are uncomfortable and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often includes short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and sleeping better.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and quick changes by identifying strengths and what is already working. This approach can help when someone wants concrete progress and short-term goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose and adapt techniques based on individual goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions.
