Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connections with others. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, codependency, intimacy-related issues, or repeated relational conflicts to understand and shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for growth; this approach is often helpful for concerns like low self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, sleep problems, and some eating-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Sandy Stein works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what resonates and adjust strategies over time to support sustainable change.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how sessions occur - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work demands, and maintain continuity of support from New Jersey or other eligible locations. These options help clients access consistent therapy that adapts to their daily life and communication style.
