Attachment, client-centered, and CBT approaches online

Dr. Woods often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach can help clients understand connection, trust, and recurring relational themes. Client-Centered Therapy is another key element of her work - it focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating with clients so they feel heard and empowered to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Woods will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time to suit changing needs and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and options like live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distance while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
