How Andrea’s Approaches Translate Online
Andrea uses attachment-based work to help people see how early relationships influence current patterns. That approach focuses on understanding emotional bonds and improving how someone connects in present-day relationships.She also uses client-centered techniques, which means sessions are led by the person's concerns and goals. This creates a space where the therapist follows the client's priorities and offers reflections and support tailored to those aims.
EMDR is another tool she may use to address traumatic memories that keep repeating in daily life. When appropriate, EMDR can help reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events so people can move forward more easily.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online work often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in, to meet during a lunch break, or to avoid travel time. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking so you know what will be offered.
