How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Regina uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns show up today. That approach focuses on understanding emotional needs and how people connect or pull away, which can help with intimacy, abandonment worries, and family history concerns.She also uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following a person's pace, while CBT offers practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. These methods are useful for anxiety, mood struggles, panic, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the approach fits the person's needs and preferences rather than the other way around.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth is needed or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework reviews, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
