How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It helps people who feel stuck by encouraging committed steps toward a more meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating. That can be useful for relationship struggles, caregiving stress, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on current needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if something isn’t working.

If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time for people balancing caregiving or health concerns. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and homework so they can be used between sessions no matter the meeting method.
