Therapeutic approaches and online care

Audrey uses several evidence-informed approaches to help people make changes in their relationships and daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationship patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to strengthen connection and reduce recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Audrey works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a work break or between errands. Some formats also make shorter, focused sessions simpler when lower bandwidth or less screen time is preferred. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to determine what will work best for your schedule and goals.
