Approaches used during online sessions and what they do
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior. It helps when trust, closeness, or relationship reactions create stress or repeated conflict.Motivational Interviewing focuses on uncovering a person’s own reasons to change. It is useful for addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and building internal motivation for new habits.
Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and responses tied to trauma or anxiety. It helps people notice physical signals and use simple techniques to reduce overwhelm during or after difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit a meeting into a workday, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can make it easier to follow up between sessions and to practice grounding or movement exercises in everyday settings.
