Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting the emotions that shape how people relate to themselves and others; online sessions can use this work to increase emotional awareness and change interaction patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That shared process helps match techniques like EFT or ACT to the person’s real needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and emotional exploration. Phone can be a simpler alternative when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, homework prompts, or faster touchpoints between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
