How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with deep emotions and relationship patterns. It focuses on how feelings shape interpersonal responses and can be useful for people who want to change repeated negative cycles with others. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current attachment patterns shape reactions in close relationships and helps people notice and shift those patterns.She combines these approaches with client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses.
