Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and the emotional bonds formed with caregivers. It helps clients explore how early attachment experiences shape current relationships and parenting, and supports building safety, trust, and more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual’s own goals and strengths; the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help clients clarify values, make decisions, and grow at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses patterns of thinking and behavior by helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other challenges.
Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. Kasey works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods fit best. That collaboration helps shape a treatment plan that feels meaningful and doable for the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access licensed professionals from different locations. Clients can choose the format that best suits their communication style and daily life, while therapists adapt methods to work effectively in each online modality.
