Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Zeidan-Lukacs often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems by teaching step-by-step skills and practical homework.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections. That work helps people improve communication, trust, and intimacy in day-to-day life.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques together to find what helps. The first few sessions are often about figuring out that fit and setting clear, achievable steps.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or support when a written format feels easier to use. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.
