Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and change how emotions shape their relationships. Online sessions can use EFT to name core emotions and practice new ways of connecting or responding to others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps. In remote work this can look like setting manageable goals between sessions and using short exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. During video or phone sessions she might introduce simple tools for tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client interact face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy in real life.
