Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape how people relate now. Florence uses it to help clients understand patterns in relationships and to try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift strong emotions that get in the way of close relationships and healing.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs and goals. That judgment may shift over time as progress is tracked and priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between errands. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when needed or choose slower-paced work for deeper issues. Licensed professionals often adapt tools like CBT worksheets or emotionally focused exercises to an online setting to keep momentum between sessions.
