Background and approach

Florence draws on several approaches to tailor work to each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to map how early relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

Emotionally-focused and client-centered methods guide emotional processing and strengthen the therapeutic relationship. People come to her for help with parenting stress, career challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and caregiving strain as well as trauma recovery and intimacy issues. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and codependency by combining practical tools with reflective conversation.

Florence describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set realistic aims, track progress, and adapt strategies that fit real life. Her practice emphasizes steady change over quick fixes and offers a calm, goal-oriented environment for people ready to work on what matters most.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Florence uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current emotional reactions and helps people build new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible check-ins and written reflections that can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
