How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and shifting emotional responses that keep people stuck. In short sessions, this approach helps identify patterns in how someone reacts and connects feelings to everyday relationship and mood problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people build small habits that align with what matters to them and cope with difficult internal experiences without getting overwhelmed.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can be helpful when someone notices repeated cycles of trust, avoidance, or fear in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical advantages to fit therapy into everyday life while focusing on emotional shifts and new skills.
