Online support
How attachment and skills-based therapy work online
Erika uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current behavior. This approach helps people notice repeating habits in relationships and practice new ways of connecting. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses sessions on what matters most to the person and follows their pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach she brings to online work; it looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking that fuels stress. Together these approaches let clients address both feelings about relationships and the everyday skills needed to cope.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Erika collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing brief check-ins or skill practice. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
