Online sessions: structure and methods
Nancy uses a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, and mindfulness practices to shape online sessions. With CBT, she helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and supports development of concrete coping strategies and behavioral changes. Attachment-based methods are used to explore relational patterns and how early connections influence current emotions and reactions. Mindfulness practices introduce present-focused awareness and simple tools for managing stress and intense feelings.Her client-centered stance and use of motivational interviewing create a collaborative space where a person’s priorities guide the work. Emotionally-focused elements can be brought in to attend to relationship distress and strong emotional states, while motivational techniques support readiness for change. This combination is adapted to the concerns presented and to each person’s goals.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those communication modes are used to schedule and conduct sessions, share observations, and support follow-up between meetings according to individual preference and clinical appropriateness.
