Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and close connections. This approach can help people working through attachment issues, relationship challenges, and feelings of abandonment by exploring relational patterns and building more secure ways of connecting.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic, nonjudgmental listening and places the client at the center of the process. It supports people who need a respectful, paced space to explore self-esteem, motivation, or family and caregiving stresses.
