Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work with trauma, loss, and separation issues across the lifespan. In sessions she keeps the focus practical. People can expect straightforward skills and calm conversations about what matters now.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-centered ideas. Aura pays attention to early attachment and how past losses shape current relationships. She helps people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and try new ways of relating.
For parents she offers help balancing caregiving demands with self-care and calmer family interactions. Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. Together with the client she sets small, achievable steps and checks progress along the way.
She aims to make therapy useful, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace.
Online therapy approaches and how they help
Aura commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can be useful for intimacy issues, grief, and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then blend methods as needed. This collaborative process helps tailor strategies that fit a person's life and make day-to-day changes more achievable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes sessions flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video lets people read body language and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick coaching, progress notes, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy accessible while supporting consistent work on goals.
