Attachment and CBT Approaches in Online Therapy

Dr. Maryellen Romero uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships and emotional bonds influence current behavior and relationship patterns. This approach helps people understand connection styles, improve trust and communication, and heal from relational wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and coping challenges.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Romero works with each person to clarify goals, assess needs, and adapt techniques so the plan aligns with what the individual finds most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback as treatment unfolds so techniques can be adjusted for the best fit.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, respond to evolving needs, and provide consistent support in formats that many clients find convenient and accessible.
