How attachment, CBT, and emotionally-focused work translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. Online sessions can use this approach to notice interaction habits and try new ways of connecting with partners or family members.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with cravings by using exercises and homework between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings in relationships and aims to strengthen emotional connection. Practically, a therapist guides conversations that help partners or individuals name feelings and respond differently to each other.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose a blend of methods and adjust as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy weeks. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend shorter check-ins or follow-up work.
