How her approaches guide online care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships affect current emotional patterns. It helps people notice protective habits and try new ways of connecting and trusting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going by teaching specific skills to test and change those patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the feelings behind relationship difficulties and helps people name and respond to emotions more clearly.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which approaches to try first. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress and needs become clearer.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shifting a check-in to a shorter slot during a work break or avoiding travel time to an office. Online sessions also allow the therapist to use worksheets, screen-sharing, and between-session exercises that reinforce new thinking and everyday habits.
