Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns of connection and trust. Through exploring attachment styles, therapy can help clients improve intimacy, emotional safety, and relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; this approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and stronger decision-making skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
