Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping strategies.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early attachment experiences to strengthen connection, address intimacy-related concerns, and support family and caregiver dynamics. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and attachment-related stress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic events while building skills for managing trauma responses. It is applied when past trauma or abuse is contributing to current symptoms or relationship struggles.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; the therapist will work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions and adjust techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging add flexibility and accessibility to care. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, accommodate busy schedules, reduce travel time, and provide multiple ways to maintain continuity between sessions.
