How these approaches translate to online care

Dr. Sadler commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it can help with stress, anxiety, and coping with chronic health challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines, which is useful for sleep problems, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions typically mix listening, skill teaching, and small experiments to test new ways of thinking or acting in everyday situations.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match work, caregiving, or health schedules so therapy fits into daily routines rather than adding extra burden.
