How her approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present behavior and emotions. In online sessions this approach can help people understand patterns that affect stress, intimacy, and self-worth. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers nonjudgmental attention and helps clients set goals they find meaningful.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in about what is or isn't working and adjusts the plan together with the client.
Dr. Rumley prefers video sessions but is open to phone calls for people who feel more comfortable without video. The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work or family, fewer logistics like commuting, and the ability to fit shorter check-ins into a busy day. Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they fit the client's routine and needs.
