Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with mood, sleep, eating concerns, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the client sets the goals and pace of work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be a simpler, quieter option that uses less bandwidth. Discussing what fits into daily life is part of the first meetings so sessions align with practical needs.
