Background and approach

Sessions often look at how past patterns show up in current relationships and teach new ways of responding that build safety and understanding. She aims to make conversations clearer and more useful, not just talk about problems.
She approaches work with compassion and respect for each person’s values. The room is intended to be nonjudgmental so people can name hard feelings and try different ways of relating. Progress is usually a mix of insight and practicing new behaviors between sessions.

04Online support
How attachment work and EFT translate to online therapy
Arlene uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early patterns of relating affect current connections. This approach helps people recognize recurring responses to closeness or distance and learn different ways to respond that strengthen bonds.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which focuses on the emotions under conflict. EFT helps people name core feelings, share them more clearly, and try new interaction patterns that reduce escalation and build understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest whether attachment work, EFT, or a mix makes sense. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs change.
Session logistics can make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Many people appreciate being able to join sessions without long commutes, fit appointments around work or caregiving, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking to find the best fit.
