Integrating Attachment and CBT in Online Care

Dr. DeArth-Pendley uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust - this approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and patterns of relating that cause repeated stress. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach she employs, focusing on empathic listening and collaborative goal setting to support self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it practical for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and coping skill development.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. DeArth-Pendley works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so that therapy remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These modalities make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy routines and life changes while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, focused treatment tailored to each client's circumstances.
