Remote approaches and how they are used
Brumfield integrates several evidence-informed methods into online work, adapting them to the constraints and opportunities of remote communication. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and how early bonds shape current relationships. In telehealth sessions this can involve reflecting on interpersonal dynamics and identifying recurring themes in a person’s life story.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy provide skills-oriented tools for managing difficult emotions and changing unhelpful thinking. Brumfield clarifies goals, practices skills in session, and helps clients apply techniques between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered as a trauma-focused option that is introduced carefully and tailored to client readiness.
Brumfield works collaboratively with clients to select and adapt these approaches to individual needs. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support ongoing connection and homework between scheduled appointments.
