Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present-day connection patterns. It helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance in relationships and can be useful for those struggling with relationship issues, abandonment concerns, or parenting challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. This approach helps individuals explore their values and goals at their own pace and can be especially helpful for people facing life transitions, low self-esteem, or grief.
