How her approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how patterns from early relationships affect current connections. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to notice those patterns and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. In teletherapy this often means setting small homework tasks and reviewing progress together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, values, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to share brief updates, continue a plan between sessions, or get coaching-style prompts. These options help fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or long commutes while keeping therapy consistent.
