Using therapeutic approaches Online and in conversation

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps that align with those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to shift mood and stress levels. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and helps people try new ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful and practical for daily life. Clients and therapist make decisions together about which techniques to prioritize.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use therapies like ACT and CBT in their everyday environments so techniques can be practiced between sessions.
