How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current behavior and trust. Online sessions can be used to identify those patterns and practice different ways of relating to others.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions to problems like parenting strain, identity concerns, and self-esteem issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping like codependent behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. This happens over the first sessions as goals and preferences are clarified.
Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find video or phone sessions help maintain consistency and apply skills in everyday environments while working toward clear, practical goals.
