She also supports work around attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, and difficulties linked to chronic pain, illness or disability.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Lanre uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet different needs. One common method focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood; it involves noticing patterns, testing small changes and building new coping habits. Another approach pays attention to past relationships and recurring patterns, helping people connect current difficulties to earlier experiences and try new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lanre treats this as a team effort - she will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust the plan when needed. The aim is to find practical steps that feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can fit a short break or need less bandwidth, live chat suits people who prefer typing in the moment, and text messaging allows brief check-ins between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping focus on progress.
