How these approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Aboulhosn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include structured exercises, homework, and step-by-step skill building to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. This approach helps people understand relationship triggers and practice new ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to name and shift strong emotions in relationships, which can help when feelings get in the way of making changes.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches in session, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. Clients have a say in what feels useful and how fast to move.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for guided exercises and emotion work. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or use less bandwidth, while chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins or writing out thoughts between meetings. These options help make ongoing care easier to fit into daily life.
