Online support
How attachment and practical therapies work online
Marla uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how close relationships influence feelings and behavior. This approach can help people understand patterns that show up in friendships, work, or caregiving and learn new ways to respond. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person's values and priorities, helping clients feel respected and understood as they set goals.She often pairs these with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Together these approaches offer both insight about relationship patterns and concrete strategies for managing mood, anxiety, or stress. Marla will talk with each client about what feels most useful and will collaborate to choose approaches that fit their needs and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more directly through emotion-focused material. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, skill reminders, or more frequent support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work across different settings.
