How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps identify how past connection shapes current reactions. It can help when relationship worry or intimacy issues are central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets everyday thoughts and habits by noticing unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick strategies that match a person’s goals, preferences, and life demands. That may mean combining attachment ideas with CBT techniques and practical coping skills over several sessions.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. Some formats need less bandwidth or make it easier to have a shorter mid-day session, while others support longer, more in-depth work. Ask about available session types when you arrange your first appointment.
