How her therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand closeness, trust, and responses to loss or separation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and short-term skill building. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to build stronger bonds and clearer communication.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they pick methods and adjust them as progress is made so the plan fits daily life and the issues at hand.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking since the biography notes messaging and video or phone conferencing hours but session options can change. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into busy weeks. Some people prefer a shorter phone check-in when time is tight, while others like video for face-to-face interaction. The therapist will help adapt tools and homework so they work between sessions and in everyday routines.
