Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Linnea often draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships and attachment patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand relational dynamics and work toward more secure, supportive ways of relating. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. When motivation for change is mixed, she may incorporate Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify goals, resolve ambivalence, and strengthen their own reasons for change.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Linnea works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients play an active role in shaping the focus of therapy.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options allow people to access therapy from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
