Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people who struggle with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship conflicts by looking at how past experiences influence present bonds.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, placing the client's perspective at the center of the work. This approach supports self-exploration and self-directed growth, and is useful for people facing stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional distress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and other symptoms by teaching skills that can be applied in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Dr. Wieland works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, trial different methods, and tailor the treatment to individual needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and continue work during life transitions, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, ongoing treatment.
