How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and trust. In therapy this means looking at patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways of relating when intimacy or abandonment concerns are present.Client-centered therapy centers on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can discover their own answers and make choices that feel right for them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or addictions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs and will recommend a mix of methods when useful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.
