How her approaches fit into online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and communication. In online sessions this can help people recognize patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy centers the person - it emphasizes being heard and understood. That approach helps build trust and clarity about what a person wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies for shifting unhelpful thinking and routines.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will adjust methods over time. Clients often try a mix of strategies to see what helps most for their situation.
The biography notes comfort with online work, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. They can also support focused skill practice between meetings, such as mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets tailored to daily habits.
