How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts. It can help with problems like anger, anxiety, and motivation by shifting what you do when strong feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In short practical steps, it teaches methods to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It is often used when people need tools to reduce reactivity and handle conflict more calmly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit your needs and goals. You and the therapist can try approaches, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan as you go.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can still include skills practice, behavioral experiments to do between sessions, and focused problem-solving that fits into everyday life.
