How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape emotional patterns. It looks at how past and current relationships affect trust, closeness, and coping, and it can help people repair connection and feel steadier in their relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals. The therapist listens with acceptance and helps people find their own solutions, which is useful for building confidence and clarity about next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It often includes clear exercises people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or shift mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and daily life. That conversation usually happens in the first few meetings and can change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around school, work, and caregiving tasks, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular check-ins. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that helps build connection.
