How Ariana integrates approaches for online work
Ariana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to shift responses. ACT emphasizes noticing values and making choices that align with those values even when difficult feelings are present.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep conversation focused on the person's experience and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together; the therapist and client choose approaches based on the client’s goals, daily life, and what feels most useful in practice.
Confirm the specific session formats with Ariana before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some people prefer audio-only sessions if bandwidth or camera use is difficult, while others prefer full video for face-to-face interaction. The therapist will discuss practical options and help arrange sessions that suit your routine and goals.
