Online support

Attachment-informed approaches and online therapy

Angela uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions. This work looks at patterns of trust, closeness, and separation and helps people make different choices in how they relate to others. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own goals and pace so the work follows what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete behavior changes to reduce panic or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. Together they decide whether attachment-focused exploration, skills-based CBT work, or a mix of approaches best fits the current concerns.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can help people fit support into busy days and keep momentum between synchronous sessions.
