Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Carla uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person's concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with intimacy problems, abandonment fears, and relationship repair by exploring attachment needs and building new interaction patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead to foster self-understanding, confidence, and personal growth - this approach suits people seeking empathetic, person-focused work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carla works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing work to continue by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while still enabling meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists.
