How her therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on improved emotional connection and safety between partners or within family relationships, which can help with intimacy and trust issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on the emotions that drive conflict and distance, guiding partners to express needs and rebuild closeness.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you will adjust the focus and pace so the work feels relevant and doable for your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work in real time with visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and texting supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical progress.
