How her approaches work in online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice patterns in their emotional responses during relationships and learn new ways of connecting. It is useful for parents and individuals who want clearer communication and more stable bonds. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety and stress in daily life.The therapist sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past, then recommend strategies that fit those needs. Over time the plan can change based on progress and what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which help people match therapy to their routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions and to get short, focused support when needed.
