Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Laura Riness draws on several well-established approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues, and emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership - the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth, which is helpful for improving self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, making it useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Riness collaborates with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the therapy feels relevant and effective for each individual.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access licensed professionals from home, and continue progress even when schedules or life situations change.
