Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and interpersonal responses; it can be helpful for people working through attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive, empathetic approach where the therapist offers unconditional positive regard and supports the client to find their own solutions - this method is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of approach may evolve over time as therapy progresses and as priorities shift.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for those balancing work, family or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional.
