Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating. It helps clients explore connection, trust, and emotional needs to improve relationships and a sense of safety within close bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, separating problems from identity and allowing new, more empowering narratives to emerge.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nora Rowny will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. These options support ongoing work on relationships, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
