Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that form in early life and continue to shape adult relationships. It helps people explore how past connections influence current trust, closeness, and emotional regulation, and is useful for attachment issues, parenting concerns, and relationship challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual’s own experience and priorities. In this approach the therapist creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment and helps people identify their goals and strengths, which can be particularly helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and problem-solving in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Wiersma works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and tailor communication styles to what works best for each individual.
