Her style is direct and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can use between meetings. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current patterns.

Approaches Anne names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Attachment-informed and practical therapy online

Anne integrates attachment-based work and client-centered care to help people notice how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Attachment-based work looks at patterns that began in early bonds and how they show up in current connections; it can help when trust, closeness, or separation feel difficult. Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood first, which helps people feel ready to try new ways of relating and coping.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change small daily habits. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process; the therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when talking about relationships. Phone sessions are a low-bandwidth option for check-ins or when video isn't practical. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue consistent work toward change.
