Therapeutic approaches and online care for attachment and coping
Holly Powell frequently uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore early relational patterns and their impact on current behavior and relationships. This approach helps clients and families understand how past attachments shape emotions and responses, and it can be especially useful for children, adolescents, and young adults facing relational or developmental concerns.She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the process and therapists reflect understanding and empathy. That approach supports self-directed growth and helps people build confidence in their own goals and choices.
