Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people explore intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, family dynamics, and relationship challenges so they can build more secure ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and experimenting with practical strategies to change them. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes in a way that emphasizes skill-building and problem solving.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. It is commonly offered when trauma or abuse is part of a person’s history and the goal is to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cornelia (Connie) O'Marra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This format can make it easier to fit support into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access therapeutic guidance from home or other convenient locations.
