How sessions work
How her approaches guide online sessions
Vani draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current patterns of relating. That approach helps when people feel dependent, struggle with boundaries, or repeat familiar dynamics in romantic relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits that fuel codependent reactions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and what feels most workable. Together they select techniques and adjust them as progress unfolds so sessions fit the client's needs and preferences.
This profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow a quieter check-in, or reduce travel time. Sessions can focus on skill practice, short-term problem solving, or longer narrative work depending on goals and what the client prefers.
