How Attachment, Skills Work, and Online Care Come Together

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion. It helps people who struggle with connection, abandonment concerns, adoption or foster care questions, and family or attachment issues by exploring relational patterns and building more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete tools for coping and symptom relief. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that are useful for managing intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Myers works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and priorities over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant to each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect with licensed professionals and therapists, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for ongoing support, skill practice between sessions, and continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. These options can increase accessibility and help people maintain consistent progress during life transitions or when schedules are constrained.
