How her approaches adapt to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In sessions this looks like identifying patterns in how someone connects, and practicing new ways of asking for support and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities, giving space to talk through concerns and discover what feels most meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into parts, and builds concrete skills to change them, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing ideas from attachment work, client-centered listening, and CBT to create a plan that fits the person's life.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep therapy consistent during life transitions or while living in another country. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to help people practice skills, reflect on relationship patterns, and track progress between sessions.
