Her approach centers on creating an open therapeutic space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly and explored alongside practical strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing practical changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. It tends to be goal-oriented and useful for people who want structured tools to manage current difficulties.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing inner experience without getting stuck in it and clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action. This approach can help when avoidance or rumination get in the way of living a values-driven life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked for the client to tailor a plan that may draw from CBT, ACT, or other supportive styles as appropriate.

Online therapy with Ariana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to engage. These options make scheduling easier around daily life, allow consistent access across locations, and enable ongoing momentum between sessions through messaging when helpful.
