Attachment and Cognitive Approaches for Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in connections and emotion regulation. It helps people explore relational themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, and family dynamics to build more secure, supportive relationships and reduce relationship-driven distress.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the clientâs own goals. This approach helps people clarify what they want to change, develop self-awareness, and move at a pace that feels right for them, making it useful for concerns like self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with stress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful habits by teaching skills to reframe thinking and change behavioral patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Richardson-Cline collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time to fit individual needs.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or physical limitations. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, ongoing support in ways that fit a personâs life while maintaining a focus on effective, goal-oriented care.
