How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work helps people understand and reshape how they relate to others. It focuses on patterns from important relationships and on building more predictable ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful when someone feels overwhelmed or stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so it fits what the person needs and what works in their daily life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping progress consistent without long commutes. Online work can make it easier to use real-life examples from the person’s day and to practice skills between sessions.
