Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Gallwey draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current connections; this approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, or recurring relationship difficulties. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical method often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
