Integrating Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people explore how early relationships affect current patterns of connection and trust. It is useful for those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and family of origin concerns because it focuses on increasing emotional safety and more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's empathic presence and respect for the client's experience. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and personal growth, and can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and decision-making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and certain eating or sleeping problems by teaching practical tools for coping and problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Diane works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and current challenges, and adapts methods to match what will be most helpful. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine elements from different approaches to fit each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations, while preserving the therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
