She emphasizes respect and dignity in every interaction and builds plans around real-life demands. Progress is pursued step by step, with attention to what works between sessions. Dr.
Baylor offers several online session formats and will help match the communication style to what a person prefers. She encourages anyone ready to take a first step toward change to begin with a short questionnaire and a scheduling conversation.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgment and supports the person in finding their own answers and pace.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different approaches and help decide which fits best based on the issues, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, or travel.
