How therapy approaches work online

Wendi commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different techniques, and choose methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical steps you can use between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity between appointments.
