How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connection and patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how early bonds shape current reactions and supports new ways of relating in relationships and with themselves.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental listening stance. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions for stress, loss, or relationship difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more effective alternatives. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they will choose techniques and adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or reduce the need to be on camera for every visit. Licensed professionals tailor the approach to your needs so the work stays practical and focused.
