How Daphne’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the way early relationships shape how people relate now. Online sessions can explore patterns in current relationships and build new ways to feel safer and more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and small behavioral experiments that translate into daily life.

Figuring out which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist will try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or parenting, fewer travel demands, and more options for scheduling. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current delivery options before booking. Many people find online work helps maintain continuity of care and supports steady practice of new skills between meetings.
