Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Winn draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses - this approach often helps people working through intimacy concerns, attachment issues, and family-of-origin dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy forms another core element of her practice, emphasizing empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration to support self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Winn works collaboratively with each person to identify which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as those needs change. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend strategies to match the individual.
Online therapy with Dr. Winn can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local access to specialized care, and they make it possible to continue work through life transitions and changing circumstances.
