Approaches That Guide Remote Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. It helps people understand and heal attachment wounds that contribute to relationship difficulties, anxiety, and feelings of isolation.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic partnership in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in finding their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and restoring a sense of agency.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problems that benefit from structured skill-building.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roda works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy evolves.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call or phone, and support is also available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access support from different locations.
