Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Betty Burns

Betty uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses. This approach helps clients who struggle with intimacy, trust, and repeated relationship difficulties understand and change those patterns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. CBT can be especially useful for building coping skills and addressing day-to-day challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is another key part of her work when past trauma shapes present functioning. This approach supports clients in processing traumatic experiences and in developing tools to reduce the impact of trauma symptoms on daily life.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Betty works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and clinical needs, adjusting methods over time to find what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Betty is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional from different locations.
