How approaches like mindfulness and ACT work online

Erica often uses Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered methods. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, which can ease anxiety and improve focus. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It also supports practicing mindfulness exercises and behavior changes in daily life where they actually happen, making skills learned in sessions more immediately useful.
