Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. It is often used to address stress, depression, and anxiety by building new coping skills and clearer thinking patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. It can be particularly helpful for people struggling with relationship issues, attachment concerns, abandonment fears, or intimacy-related difficulties by increasing awareness of relational patterns and fostering more secure ways of relating.
Client-Centered Therapy, also known as person-centred therapy, emphasises empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can set the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration and personal growth and is valuable for people facing life changes, grief, self-esteem concerns, and decision-making challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Seyma works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access care from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists and clients to continue meaningful work without the need to meet in person.
