Online support options
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns in closeness and trust and develop new ways of connecting and regulating feelings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and feedback that help people clarify values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, and it is useful for tackling stress, social anxiety, and mood patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether attachment work, client-centered exploration, CBT techniques, or a mix is the best fit for the person's situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visible cues, phone calls can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or during a quick check-in, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
