Therapeutic approaches for online work and day-to-day life
Daphne commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when helping people online. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep habits, or manage mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current trust, intimacy, and communication, and it can help people reshape connection strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Daphne will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they felt, and adjusting plans so therapy fits the person's pace.
