How Antoinette’s approaches translate to online therapy

Antoinette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical changes and emotional healing. She works in a trauma-informed way that helps people understand how past experiences affect current feelings and reactions. This approach supports recovery from post-traumatic stress, abuse, and attachment wounds by pacing work to each person’s needs and building coping skills.

She also uses strengths-based methods that highlight a person’s existing resources. This means sessions often identify what already works in someone’s life and expand those skills to handle stress, caregiver responsibilities, and relationship challenges. The work centers on clear steps you can try between sessions to build confidence.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust techniques over time so therapy fits the client’s needs and life circumstances.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let people choose a quieter moment for check-ins. Some formats also allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, which can help with managing stress or caregiver demands.
