Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Betty Burns



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and ongoing relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps clients understand connection needs, improve trust, and repair relational difficulties that contribute to stress or emotional pain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that explores the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It offers tools to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns by identifying and reshaping thinking and action.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences through strategies tailored to reduce distress and build coping skills. It is useful for people working through reactions to past abuse, significant loss, or overwhelming events.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Betty works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how sessions occur - whether by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each client.
