Applying Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current ways of relating. In practice this approach helps people explore patterns around trust, closeness, and abandonment and supports rebuilding secure connections and emotional safety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience, offering empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can access their strengths; it is especially helpful for enhancing self-esteem, decision-making, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, using practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to meet changing needs.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes these approaches more accessible and flexible. Remote sessions can reduce travel time, allow scheduling around work and family commitments, and enable continuity of care from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skills training, and reflective work to each format so clients can advance their goals in ways that fit their daily life.
