How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. This approach is useful when relationship patterns, trust, or abandonment concerns are central to the problem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and the client's own pace. It helps people feel heard and rebuild confidence by shaping sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so they match your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to skill-practice and worksheets that can be used between meetings, which many people find helpful when balancing therapy with daily life.
