How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses. In online sessions this can look like talking through recurring relationship themes and practicing different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often uses concrete exercises, thought records, and small experiments to test new ways of responding to stress or anxiety. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; those exercises are easy to try in scheduled sessions and between meetings.Choosing the best approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what you’ve tried before. Together you decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as needed so it fits your situation.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focus on skills work between meetings. It also supports steady contact when life events or disasters disrupt routines, letting work continue even as circumstances change.
