Online Approaches Rooted in Attachment and Cognitive Work

Steven integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients examine patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape present-day connection and trust. This approach is useful for people wrestling with intimacy-related issues, family conflict, or recurring relationship patterns.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the clientâs goals and experiences guide the work. That person-focused stance helps clients build confidence, find direction, and clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts strategies over time so the work remains aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow continued support during transitions or when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver consistent, goal-focused care while working closely with each person to find the best path forward.
