Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Dr. Andrus often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps people understand connection needs and improve how they relate to others. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience, offering empathy and reflection so clients can make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these approaches, targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete ways to test new habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals and then adjusts methods based on what helps most. That means trying practical skills, checking in on what feels useful, and changing course when needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let clients stay connected between meetings or choose brief, focused check-ins that fit a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
