How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can explore attachment patterns, communication habits, and ways to build more stable connections in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote sessions this often involves practicing new skills, reviewing short homework, and tracking progress between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Skills such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation can be taught and practiced during online meetings. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during breaks. It can also let people try practice exercises in familiar daily settings and bring real-life examples into the work.
