Bringing Attachment, Client-Focused, and Cognitive Work to Online Therapy

Surilla Lawrence integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current emotions and connection, helping people understand and repair relational wounds and attachment-related fears. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to build self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to develop more effective coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic journey. Surilla collaborates with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure a good match.

Online therapy with Surilla is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life, while working with licensed professionals who tailor care to each individual.
