Using attachment work and CBT in online care

Brent commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and aim to strengthen connection and trust.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Brent collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, concerns, and comfort level. That might mean starting with skill-building from CBT or focusing first on repairing relationship patterns with attachment work; the plan shifts as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and practice interactions, phone sessions can work when video is not possible or bandwidth is low, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging can be used for ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent contact while working toward change.
