Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and skills you can use between meetings. Dr. Allen blends several approaches to match each person's needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and on attachment-based and emotionally focused methods to look at relationship patterns and closeness. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and present-moment awareness.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how past connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating. It can be useful for intimacy struggles, abandonment concerns, and repairing trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve coping with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend one or a blend of approaches. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text works well for brief check-ins, coaching-style notes, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while maintaining consistent momentum.
