How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions using attachment ideas focus on mapping relationship patterns, increasing emotional connection, and practicing new ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and creates space for listening and reflection. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, validates feelings, and helps clients find their own solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often includes short exercises and homework that clients can try between sessions to track progress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs rather than assuming one way fits everyone.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in real life quickly and keep momentum between meetings.
