Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, try small changes, and build helpful habits. She adapts her approach to each person rather than using one set method for everyone. Dr.
Bachmann uses client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods help with coping and setting clear, achievable goals.
People who want a steady, experienced guide to talk through anxiety or life shifts often fit well with her approach. She invites clients to set practical goals and to check progress regularly. The aim is clearer coping skills and more confidence handling everyday challenges.
Approaches that translate to online care
Dr. Bachmann commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person’s priorities and pace, which helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings or make a plan. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.She also brings mindfulness and solution-focused ideas into sessions when they fit. Mindfulness exercises help people notice stress reactions and calm themselves. Solution-focused steps break bigger problems into small, doable goals and track progress. Finding the right mix of these approaches is collaborative; the therapist and client decide together what methods to try based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer therapeutic work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter, frequent contact is helpful. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
