How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Mary Lynn integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, stress, and mood. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current attachments and communication, which is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and what feels most useful. That choice may shift as progress is made and needs change.
