How these approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which can ease anxiety and improve intimate relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering empathy and reflection so people can find their own solutions and gain confidence in making changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Andrus collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Together they’ll try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, provide a quieter setting for focused conversation, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. A therapist can also suggest which approach or format will best meet scheduling needs and treatment goals.
