In session she blends techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. That mix helps with habits, decision-making, and managing intense emotions like anger, grief, or anxiety.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with motivation, life changes, and patterns that come from one’s family of origin. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions by identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses; this is useful for mood, anxiety, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the approach over time.
The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and remove travel time. They also permit using mindfulness practices or homework between meetings to reinforce progress. Licensed professionals can work with clients to schedule sessions that suit work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.
