How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior. It looks at communication and trust, and helps people change interaction habits that cause pain or distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build better coping skills for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust techniques over time based on what is helping. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If you need to avoid being on camera, other session arrangements may work better for certain conversations or lower bandwidth situations. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm available session types before booking to ensure they match your needs.
