How Diana uses CBT and attachment work online

Online sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work to focus on thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors with simple exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how close relationships shape reactions and helps people notice patterns that affect parenting and family interactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diana listens to what matters most to the client and suggests strategies that match their goals and daily life. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video work supports face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can allow quick check-ins or shorter follow-ups. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or parenting schedules while still using hands-on techniques from CBT and attachment-focused work.
