How her approaches translate to online therapy

Na-Amau commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with life changes and grief.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their preferences. Over a few sessions she and the client check what is helping and adjust the plan together to make it more useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, to connect from different places, and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT tools to these formats so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
