Background and approach

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and safety. In online sessions this can mean looking at patterns in current relationships, tracing how those patterns started, and practicing new ways of asking for connection or setting boundaries. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; online CBT often includes setting simple behavioral experiments and using brief exercises between sessions to build new habits. The Gottman Method brings attention to communication patterns and problem-solving in relationships, with practical skills for reducing conflict and increasing positive interactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused on what matters most to them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face and practice communication skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, pacing between appointments, and follow-up notes or exercises. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent amid a busy life.
