How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can explore patterns in relationships and how they affect stress, trust, and intimacy in current life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this often means practicing skills, tracking thoughts, and reviewing real-life experiments between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. Short guided exercises by phone or text can help clients build this skill over time.Deciding which approach to use is a team process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative choice can shift as work progresses, with methods blended to suit each person.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use short updates on busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine and keep progress steady.
