How her approaches are used in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds affect current attachment and helps people notice and change repetitive interaction styles. This approach can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and patterns that repeat across adult relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anxiety and depression going. CBT is often used for panic, social anxiety, and ways of coping that increase stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative decision-making means sessions can shift from skills practice to deeper processing when both agree it is useful.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use video when they want face-to-face contact or rely on audio for lower bandwidth and less focus on being on camera.
