Attachment, Client-Centered Care, and Online Therapy Options

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they connect with others - useful for abandonment, intimacy, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance in which the therapist listens deeply and supports clients as they discover solutions and build self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacquelyn partners with each person to explore which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy is personalized and responsive.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to continue care from different locations. These options can increase accessibility and convenience while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support.
