Online support

How attachment, client-centered work, and CBT translate online

Attachment-informed work looks at how earlier bonds shape current relationships and reactions; online sessions use conversations and guided reflection to identify those patterns and try new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so the person sets goals and pace, which is easy to do in a video or phone session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and experiments that can be assigned between online meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays useful and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions enable face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be good when lower bandwidth or being off camera is preferable. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or fit a short check-in into a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping the focus on steady progress.
