Therapeutic approaches and online care with Lina Vielma

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people understand relationship dynamics, improve bonding, and address issues like abandonment or intimacy struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's pace and supports self-discovery, which is especially useful for improving self-esteem and navigating emotional difficulties. EMDR is an approach used to process and reduce the lingering impact of traumatic memories by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside trauma-focused processing; it is often chosen for symptoms related to past abuse or intense traumatic events.

Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lina works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with each person's values and circumstances.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from home or other locations, while keeping the focus on effective therapeutic work.
