How her approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and reactions. Online sessions use this approach to help people notice patterns in bonding, attachment issues, and trust, and then practice new ways of relating.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. In teletherapy the therapist helps separate problems from the person, rewrite limiting narratives, and identify strengths that have been overlooked.
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and follows the client’s pace as goals are set and explored.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about concerns, goals, and preferences, then try approaches together to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where methods can change as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick updates, shorter check-ins, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
