How Libby’s Approaches Fit Online Care

Elizabeth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online sessions in clear, simple ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors, which often works well for anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people improve how they connect and manage emotions in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth works together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT skills, then bringing in attachment or client-centered techniques as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the schedule. Chat and messaging work for quick check-ins, homework, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving between sessions.
