How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and fear of abandonment and is useful for relationship and attachment concerns.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and supports self-directed change for issues like low self-esteem and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and feelings. Plans can change as needs shift during therapy.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Many people find remote work helps them fit therapy into busy lives, make shorter check-ins during work breaks, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about your schedule and preferences so sessions can be arranged to match everyday demands.
