How sessions work
How her approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current behavior and reactions. In practical terms this means talking about patterns in close relationships and trying new ways of relating that reduce reactive anger and increase connection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and practicing different responses that lower stress and temper flare-ups.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes. It uses straightforward conversations to clarify values and build motivation for specific steps, which can be helpful for issues like addictions or repeating relationship patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying tools and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.
