How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand patterns that affect trust and connection, and supports learning new ways to relate in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering reflection and support while helping them discover their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and mood challenges by testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and adapt treatment based on what helps most. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make regular check-ins simpler and reduce travel time. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking to learn which formats are offered and how they fit your routine.
