How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how past attachments shape current reactions. It can help people who want to understand how early bonds affect parenting, partnerships, or family interactions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own answers. This approach supports people who want a steady, respectful space to talk through parenting dilemmas, grief, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress and priorities change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals use practical, skills-based work in virtual meetings to help clients practice new responses and problem-solving in everyday life.
