How Angie brings ACT, CBT, and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so people can move toward what matters even when symptoms are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting thinking patterns that keep problems going and practicing new ways of responding. It often includes homework and skill practice to change behavior and reduce symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness; it can help with anxiety, stress, and mood regulation.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work together. Angie approaches treatment collaboratively and will help identify which techniques suit a person's goals, needs, and day-to-day life. She adapts exercises and plans to match what each person prefers and can use consistently.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since options can vary. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and maintaining continuity when life is unpredictable. Online sessions can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring session tools into everyday settings. A licensed professional will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit into work breaks, quiet moments, or other routines that work best for you.
