How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current bonds and reactions. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, jealousy, and fear so they can try new ways of connecting.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and helps clients find their own solutions to relationship and personal problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, jealousy, anger, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dr. Pitts-Bounds will work collaboratively to shape a plan that fits each person’s goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful and adjusting methods as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when life gets hectic. Some people find video or phone options help maintain continuity during transitions, while others prefer fewer-session formats for focused problem solving. Talk with the therapist about which arrangement will best fit your schedule and goals.
