Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Bunch uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems in place. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to focus on how people experience and express emotions in close relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting methods if something is not helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different ways of checking in, such as a shorter phone check-in or a video session when more detailed conversation is needed. Licensed professionals commonly use these options to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
