Online support
How emotion and attachment work in online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and use that awareness to change painful relationship patterns. It is often used for couples or individuals struggling with connection, grief, or intense anxiety about relationships.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and needs. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way and practices ways to feel more supported in relationships and daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace of change. It helps people build self-trust, clarify values, and gain confidence in decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set clear objectives and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and emotions closely. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing processing and quick touch-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
