How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationship patterns form and persist. Online sessions can help people notice attachment responses, practice new ways of relating, and bring changes back into daily relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals. In remote sessions this looks like reflective conversation and collaborative goal-setting that follow the client's pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises. In online work CBT often includes short skill-building tasks to practice between sessions and brief check-ins about progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single model. That decision is revisited as work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises, communication style, and homework to suit remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on the client's goals.
