Background and approach
Dr. Bachmann commonly uses problem-focused strategies and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. She also draws on cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts and on client-centered methods to keep the conversation centered on what matters to the client.
People who come to her may work on sleep problems, anger, grief, or low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, mood fluctuations, postpartum concerns, and issues tied to autism or comorbidity. Therapy sessions are practical and aimed at making daily life more manageable.
Her approach is collaborative: she helps identify what’s most important, sets achievable steps, and reviews progress together. Communication skills, problem-solving, and self-care are common themes in her work. She encourages building small routines that create steady change over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room and their priorities. The therapist listens and reflects so clients feel heard, then works with them to set goals that match their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage ADHD-related challenges, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend methods so the plan changes as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations across distance. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in quickly or have shorter, flexible touchpoints during the week. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and sustain momentum between sessions.
