How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online or in person, this work helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and boundaries so they can respond differently.Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals. The therapist offers an empathic presence, reflects what is said, and helps people articulate what they want to change or build in life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors, which can be done during sessions and between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Together they decide which techniques to try first and how to pace the work.
