Online therapy grounded in connection and practical change
Dr. Kristen Dreyfus draws from approaches that support both insight and action, especially when relationships, stress, or life transitions feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing bonds shape the way people seek closeness, manage distance, and respond to conflict. It can be helpful for relationship patterns, fears of abandonment, and the impact of family dynamics.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions as important signals and using them to create clearer, more supportive interactions. This approach is often useful for strengthening communication, navigating relationship transitions, and building a steadier sense of connection. Mindfulness Therapy adds skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, which can support stress management, anxiety, and day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Dreyfus works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what is getting in the way, and choose strategies that fit personal preferences and the pace that feels manageable.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent, even with busy schedules or changing routines. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how and when support happens.
