Brenda Yanofsky, MI Psychologist

Attachment-informed and practical approaches for online care

Brenda commonly blends attachment-based ideas and client-centered work. Attachment-based approaches look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior and can help with anxiety, intimacy, and grief. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what a person says they need, which suits people seeking a caring, collaborative space.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to give concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and routines. Those techniques are useful for stress, sleep problems, mood shifts, and building new habits. Together these approaches let the therapist and client try different strategies and keep what helps most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adjusts methods over time so sessions match progress and real-life demands.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and apply new skills between meetings.
