Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence present-day relationships. It helps clients identify attachment styles, improve connection with partners or family members, and address feelings of abandonment or insecurity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skill-oriented, often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, and to improve coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity, often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hans Ruska collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps tailor treatment to relationship concerns, stress, trauma recovery, and self-esteem work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and provide consistent therapeutic work that fits into a client’s daily life.
