How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-aligned actions while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective and supports self-directed insight and growth through reflective listening and collaborative goal setting.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudette will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges. She may combine mindfulness practice with ACT or CBT exercises and adjust the work as progress and needs evolve.
The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Using video or audio can let someone practice skills in context and review recorded tutorials or exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor the mix of talk, structured skill work, and mindfulness exercises to what the client can manage week to week.
