Online support

How attachment and practical methods translate to online therapy

Diane often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current emotions and reactions. This helps people understand why they feel stuck in certain relationship or self-worth issues. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Sessions include teaching skills, checking what works between meetings, and shifting focus when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, focused coaching, or when written reflection feels more helpful. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy lives.
