How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. It can help people improve communication, understand attachment needs, and reduce anxiety in close relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world steps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and practical behavior changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. These skills support people managing intense feelings, anger, or self-critical thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools learned in session while at home or between activities, helping to practice new skills in real situations.
