Sessions focus on what a person brings in the moment and on building useful skills. She adapts methods to fit each person rather than using a single fixed plan. Dr.

Anais draws from attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally focused work, and motivational techniques. In practical terms that means identifying patterns, naming feelings, and trying new ways of relating or coping between sessions.

Online support

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Anais commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people recognize and change those patterns in relationships and emotion. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practicing different ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy days and different needs. Video is useful when visual connection matters, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can provide short check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and steady support.
