Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps clients explore connection issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment difficulties to build more secure and satisfying relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration; the therapist follows the client's lead, creating space for self-discovery and improving self-esteem and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Karen will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which therapeutic methods to focus on and how to adapt them over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support is also available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or health limitations, and they allow people to access licensed professionals and therapists from their own settings while maintaining continuity of care.
