Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations about connection and safety. In accessible language, it helps people explore patterns in close relationships and develop more secure ways of relating, which can ease anxiety, conflict, and attachment-related struggles.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and lived experience. The therapist offers empathy, support, and reflective listening so individuals can clarify values, increase self-awareness, and make choices that fit their priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.
