Online approaches that fit your life

Antoinette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and routines that keep them stuck, then practice small changes to improve mood and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and stress-related problems.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can help with chronic worry, low motivation, and life transitions. Client-centered work is another part of her approach - she listens closely and shapes sessions around each person's goals and preferences.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust techniques based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to share what works and what doesn't so the plan can be tailored over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caretaking, or travel schedules while keeping progress moving forward.
