How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. In a few focused sessions clients look at interaction cycles and how emotions drive those cycles, which can help when the problem feels hard to put into words.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and decide what matters most. It uses values-based exercises and small behavioral steps to manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early connection patterns and how they show up now. It can be useful for people who struggle with trust, closeness, or recurring conflicts tied to past losses or abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand.
