Approaches that guide online work and progress

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on identifying connection needs and improving emotional attunement to reduce anxiety in relationships and increase closeness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical techniques like tracking thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before to recommend methods. Decisions about which techniques to try are made collaboratively and can change as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know the available options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins when needed. They also support using worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and shared tools during sessions to reinforce progress between meetings.
