Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and interpersonal responses. In practice it helps people understand connection and separation concerns, improving how they relate to partners, family members, and caregivers. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the individual’s own goals and experiences, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space that encourages self-exploration and personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood, and stress-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Diane collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy stays aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home or while traveling, and communicate in the format that feels most comfortable for the individual. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, person-centered work across a range of concerns.
