Therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes relationships and how early bonds shape current patterns. It helps people understand how their connections with others influence emotions and behaviors, and it can be useful for issues like attachment concerns, family conflict, and relational stress.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace. This approach supports self-exploration, increased self-esteem, and personal growth by honoring the client's perspective and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to treat anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete strategies for coping and problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Paola works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with a licensed professional brings flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
