How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Bunch uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practice small, concrete changes. CBT can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems by focusing on patterns that keep difficulties going.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings and interaction patterns affect relationships. EFT is often useful when anger shows up between partners or close people and the goal is to shift how emotions are expressed and responded to.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is reviewed as progress is made so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel. Licensed professionals can use online work to keep momentum between in-person visits and to practice skills in day-to-day settings.
