Approaches and Online Sessions with Nicala Edwards
Nicala frequently uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which examines how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current emotions and connections - this approach can be helpful for abandonment concerns, attachment issues, intimacy struggles, and relationship conflicts. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, a supportive, nonjudgmental approach that follows the client’s pace and priorities and can aid self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method she uses; CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Nicala works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together and adapts the plan over time so treatment stays aligned with progress and changing circumstances.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These modalities make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel needs, and let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these options to maintain continuity of care and support clients in applying skills between sessions.
