How Dr. Davis Brings Therapy Online Through Relationship and Skills Work
Dr. Davis often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way and supports rebuilding trust and closeness in their important relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Sessions are collaborative and adjust over time as progress and priorities change.
