How Emily uses ACT, CBT, and DBT online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills to change reactions and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and body image concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and goal oriented.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. It can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel, and it makes it simpler to keep therapy during changes in routine. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT tools for remote sessions to practice skills, track progress, and stay connected between visits.
