How sessions work

How their approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions using this lens can help identify repeated interaction cycles and offer new ways to respond when anger arises.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means practicing specific skills and homework between meetings to notice triggers and try alternative responses.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These techniques can be taught and practiced in session and then used in daily life to reduce impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Jaeron-Rae will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the focus as needs change.

The therapist's exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote work helps them practice skills in real life between sessions, which supports steady skill building.
