Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT in Online Sessions
Carla integrates Attachment-Based Therapy into her work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand trust, connection, and responses to stress. Client-Centered Therapy is used to place the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support so clients can identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often applied for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carla will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Carla is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules and access help from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions despite logistical challenges, and engage in therapy in the format that feels most comfortable.
