Attachment and Cognitive Approaches for Online Support
Denise brings together attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive approaches to guide online work in a way that fits each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can be helpful for abandonment, intimacy-related issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead to build understanding, validate experience, and strengthen self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills.Finding the right therapeutic mix is part of the process. Denise will work collaboratively with clients to determine which approaches best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make care more flexible around work, family, and geography. These options allow continuity of support, multiple ways to connect during difficult moments, and the ability to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
