How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early relationship styles affect current conflicts and closeness. It can be useful for recurring partner problems or loyalty conflicts in blended households.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides step-by-step techniques for sleep, anxiety, addiction urges, and mood, and is often used to test small behavior changes and track results.
She uses these approaches in a collaborative way, so the therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on needs and goals. That means testing an approach for a few sessions and shifting course if something isn’t helpful.
The original bio referenced telephonic and video counseling, so check the current session options before booking to confirm those formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can use a break at work or handle caregiving duties more easily. Talk with her about how to structure sessions to match your schedule and the kinds of issues you want to address.
