Online support

How Betsy’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. Online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to uncover those patterns and to practice different ways of relating in current life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. Together you decide whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT skills, mindfulness, or trauma-focused interventions like EMDR when appropriate.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady support.
