How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can include conversations and exercises that help identify attachment styles and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person as the expert on their life. In remote sessions the therapist offers active listening, empathy, and reflections to help people clarify goals and make decisions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills translate well to video or phone sessions and can be practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean mixing attachment ideas, mindfulness, and skills practice, or adjusting pace based on how someone responds to online sessions.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and more interactive exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter skill practice, or support between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
