How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape present feelings and reactions. It helps when anger stems from hurt, fear of abandonment, or repeated relational triggers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and gives clear strategies to interrupt unhelpful cycles such as snapping or ruminating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will collaborate with each client to choose which approaches fit their needs and goals, and adjust the plan as skills are learned and progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused practice between appointments. Therapists can use session time to teach skills, review homework, and plan real-world practice that helps reduce reactive anger and improve communication.
