CBT and Attachment-Informed Care Delivered Online



Brandy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this practical, skills-based approach often focuses on developing coping tools for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns and emotional bonds, which can be especially useful for people navigating intimacy issues, family conflicts, or attachment-related concerns. When appropriate, a client-centered stance guides sessions to ensure the client’s voice and goals shape the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist and client review presenting concerns, preferences, and goals to determine which combination of methods best fits the situation, and adjustments are made over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options allow clients to access structured CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and client-centered support from home or elsewhere, helping therapy fit into busy or complex lives.
