How Keri’s approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is helpful when someone wants to make changes but feels stuck by fear or uncertainty.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and problems that repeat in daily life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try tools from different methods to see what fits. That collaborative process helps tailor which techniques are used from ACT, CBT, or mindfulness-based skills.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in their usual routines so therapy changes carry over into everyday life.
