Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings and learn new ways to respond to them; it can be useful for relationship concerns, grief, and problems tied to attachment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current bonds and reactions, which can help with codependency, family-of-origin issues, and intimacy struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Sarah blends these approaches to match a person’s goals and the problems they bring to sessions. She works collaboratively so the client and therapist decide together which methods fit best for the moment and the overall plan.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes sessions more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when gestures and facial cues matter. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want quick support between sessions, or need a check-in that fits a busy schedule. These options help make ongoing work possible around work, childcare, or travel.
