How James applies his approaches in online sessions
James often blends attachment-based work with cognitive behavioral tools. Attachment-based work looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships; it can help people understand patterns that feed anxiety or conflict. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.He treats therapy as a collaboration. The therapist and client review goals and try approaches together to see what fits best. If an approach does not feel helpful, they adjust the plan and try other techniques based on the person’s needs and preferences.
