How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotions and safety. Online work with attachment ideas often involves looking at patterns in relationships, strengthening trust, and practicing new ways of connecting with others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. In sessions this means the therapist follows the person’s priorities, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions for stress, self-esteem, and life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT-informed online sessions can include short skills practice, emotion regulation tools, and role-play for communication challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs shift.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can combine skill work, discussion, and body-awareness techniques over distance to help clients meet practical goals.
