How Rabecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns. In sessions this looks like talking through relationship history to help people notice recurring patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and gentle reflection to help clarify what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in thinking and behavior. It often includes homework assignments that practice new skills between meetings and can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms over time.

Finding the right mix of methods is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose approaches based on individual goals, comfort level, and how quickly someone wants to try skills-based work versus deeper attachment or meaning-focused sessions.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect for online care. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone use mindfulness or skills practice from everyday settings. Talk with the therapist during matching to decide what structure and pacing will work best for you.
