How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. Online sessions can be used to identify repetitive interaction styles and to practice new ways of relating in everyday life.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the client's perspective and building a collaborative relationship. In remote sessions the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name what matters most to them so goals become clearer.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT tools lend themselves to short exercises and between-session practice that fit into a busy day.
Choosing the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether attachment work, client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or a combination feels most useful based on the person's needs and goals.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let people try approaches and homework that translate directly to home life.
