How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns. Online sessions can help people identify attachment needs and practice new ways of relating through guided conversations and exercises. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people find their own solutions; this approach adapts well to video or phone sessions where dialogue and reflection are central.Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether approaches like EMDR or solution-focused strategies fit a person’s goals and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made so care stays aligned with needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging give quick check-ins, shorter touchpoints, or an alternative for people who write more comfortably than they speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
