Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, helping clients address abandonment, attachment injuries, and intimacy-related concerns by building new relational experiences and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support while helping clients identify their own goals and strengths; this approach is useful for self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, sleeping difficulties, and coping with everyday stressors.
