How sessions work
How Bonnie’s approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small committed actions toward them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about parenting or career. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness. It can help with communication problems, intimacy issues, and family-related concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Bonnie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in on what helps and adjusts the plan based on the client's needs and preferences.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy day and reducing travel time.
