Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connection. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and recurring relationship reactions so they can try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear steps to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines for anxiety, mood, and behavior challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance so clients can lead the pace of their work and discover personal solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathalie collaborates with each person to identify goals and test methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts the blend of techniques over time, checking in about what is helping and what might need to change.
