Approaches That Guide Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections; it helps people explore attachment needs, repair trust, and improve closeness in intimate and family relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's empathic presence and unconditional positive regard, giving clients space to set the pace of change and build self-understanding and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, develop practical coping strategies, and manage symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Lauren Pitts-Bounds collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods so therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to relationship issues, parenting concerns, trauma recovery, career transitions, ADHD-related challenges, and other focus areas.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives by allowing sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistent care across schedules and locations and can support ongoing progress when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver effective, personalized support that fits each client's routine.
