How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward what matters. It can be useful for grief, caregiver stress, and life transitions where moving forward feels hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often includes practical exercises clients try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional steadiness, which can help with compassion fatigue and stress.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to a client’s needs and preferences over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to virtual settings so clients can practice tools at home and between appointments.
