How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Dennies often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills; this approach can be useful for depression, anxiety, mood regulation, and stress related to life transitions. She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore relational patterns, early bonds, and how these influence current relationships and emotional responses. Exploring attachment themes can aid work on family dynamics, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Dennies tailors methods to each person’s needs and preferences, discussing goals and adjusting techniques over time so the plan reflects the client’s priorities and lived experience.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats allow clients to engage from different locations and choose the mode that feels most comfortable, while maintaining continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
