Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they connect and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often uses short exercises, worksheets, and real-life experiments that can be done between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift emotional responses that keep relationships stuck, and it can be useful whether the focus is on personal patterns or relationship interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their main concerns, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit. This collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust techniques as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often used for longer sessions and in-depth conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or tracking progress between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
