How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and what matters most to them. Online sessions let the therapist follow those priorities and build a plan that fits day-to-day life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and practicing new responses. This approach can help with attachment concerns and relationship stress that come up during pregnancy and parenting transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety and overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of treatment. Angela works together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She listens to the client's goals, tests techniques, and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
