Therapeutic approaches and working online

Rhonda often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work when helping people manage stress and anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry and avoidant habits. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people develop new ways to relate to others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying a few techniques and checking in about what feels most useful.
