How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

The therapist commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, or eating-related struggles. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape how people connect now and helps people try new, healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of collaboration. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort. This is a team effort focused on small, practical changes and clearer understanding of personal patterns.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to meet when travel or distance would otherwise get in the way. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to know what kinds of online visits are offered and how they can best fit into your routine.
