Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Milliann uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behavior in small steps. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit changes.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and commit to actions that matter. ACT can be helpful when people feel stuck during big life changes or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try techniques that match those needs. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins about what helps.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. The therapist’s profile notes scheduling through the site and a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around caregiving, work, or other obligations.
