Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT in Online Practice

Glenda draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust - this approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where clients can access their own insights and build self-esteem through unconditional support and focused listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is often effective for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Glenda works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider which methods feel most useful and adapt the work as progress is made.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living outside metropolitan areas. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain consistency, respond to changing life demands, and access support from where the client feels most comfortable, while retaining the same therapeutic aims and professional standards used in face-to-face work.
