Integrating Attachment and Skills Work in Online Therapy
Andrea commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and connection difficulties - this approach is helpful for clients dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, and codependency. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-focused method that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are employed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support clients facing intense mood swings or self-harm urges.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adjusts strategies over time so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to engage in treatment around work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent care and to practice skills between sessions with guidance from a licensed professional and therapist who tailors their approach to the client’s circumstances.
