Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Adrian integrates approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. Emotionally Focused Therapy helps partners identify and shift patterns that keep them emotionally distant, supporting reconnection and more secure interactions in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on early relational patterns and how they shape current emotional responses, useful for addressing abandonment, attachment issues, and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adrian collaborates with each client to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Adrian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from one’s own environment while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in relational and trauma-related concerns.
