How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying small experiments to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and everyday coping. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions, which can help when communication or trust issues are present.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sharon will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time so techniques that don’t fit can be replaced with ones that do, always decided together.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, flexible ways to update progress or get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using evidence-informed methods like CBT and attachment-focused work.
