How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. It helps people spot how attachment needs and reactions shape conflicts and intimacy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and changing emotional responses that keep partners disconnected. It aims to increase emotional responsiveness and repair interaction cycles.The therapist will work collaboratively to choose the best approach for the client's goals. Treatment choices are based on presenting needs, relationship patterns, and personal preferences. The therapist may combine methods such as attachment-focused interventions with CBT or mindfulness techniques to address anxiety, communication, or sexual concerns.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking. Practical benefits of doing sessions remotely include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and choosing audio-only options if being on camera is difficult. Online work can make it easier to continue therapy while managing work, caregiving, or travel, and licensed professionals can adapt exercises and communication skills practice to the virtual setting.
