How his approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach can help people notice repeating patterns and try different responses in everyday relationships.

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s priorities and pace. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps set practical goals that fit the client’s life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift and new challenges emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills and then report back on what did or didn’t work in daily routines, keeping therapy tied to everyday habits rather than theoretical ideas.
