Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Randa Barnes draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based approaches, and client-centered methods to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep difficulties. Attachment-based therapy explores relational patterns that develop from early caregiving experiences and helps people improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation in current relationships. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive stance where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions and the therapist offers support to foster self-awareness and personal growth.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Randa works collaboratively with each person, discussing goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to determine which methods are most useful. Together they adjust strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and pick the format that feels most manageable for the client while working toward their goals with a licensed therapist.
