Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and the ways early and current attachment patterns shape emotions and behavior. It helps people and families improve connection, trust, and emotional safety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration - the therapist supports clients in exploring their goals and making choices guided by their own values and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive concerns, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape an individualized plan that can evolve over time.

Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility that can make consistent care more accessible around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skill-building, and problem-solving in formats that fit a client’s life and communication style.
