How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online work with this approach involves talking about relationship history, noticing patterns, and practicing new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's concerns and goals at the center. In remote sessions this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and sessions will adjust to match what is most helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online conversations can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life transitions while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional change.
