How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Winn commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how close relationships affect feelings and behavior and helps people notice and change patterns in relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences, and then suggest approaches to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Video can support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions may suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. The focus is on practical ways to include therapy in everyday life rather than a single required format.
