Online support

Online work using attachment and CBT approaches

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and distance. It helps people who notice repeated problems with trust, abandonment, or communication to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test simple behavior changes, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood through short exercises and homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That plan can change over time as progress or new priorities emerge. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to work on.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep contact with a licensed professional from different locations.
