Online support

How attachment and trauma-informed approaches work online

Jacqueline often uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to help people understand patterns in their relationships and feel more grounded. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets goals and the therapist listens and reflects.

She also uses EMDR as one way to address distressing memories and strong emotional reactions when appropriate. EMDR is a trauma-focused technique that can help reduce the intensity of difficult memories and make them easier to manage during everyday life. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's history, goals, and comfort level.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while still focusing on progress and practical steps.
