Approaches and online care that fit your life

Dr. Sullivan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practice new patterns that reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people build clearer, more secure ways of relating.

She also brings a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in focus. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and chat or messaging lets clients share notes or short updates between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and daily routines while keeping therapy focused on practical progress and coping skills.
