How Dani’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Online work can focus on those patterns and practice new ways of connecting in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. In remote sessions Dani often assigns short, practical exercises to try between meetings to build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what felt useful in past therapy to shape the plan together. That collaborative process means approaches can shift over time as needs and priorities change.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives flexibility for different days and tasks. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for quick check-ins, shorter skills practice, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or medical routines, while keeping a steady path toward the client’s goals.
