How her approaches guide online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people connect and respond in relationships. It helps identify patterns that keep partners or caregivers stuck and builds new ways of relating that feel safer and more predictable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and offers tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose an environment that minimizes interruptions or choose a session style that doesn't require video when that is preferable. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to support consistent progress without promising specific session types.
