Approaches That Guide Online Work and Therapeutic Growth

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. Through this approach Tkeyah helps clients understand attachment styles and develop more secure ways of relating, which can be useful for relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and intimacy issues.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. In this framework she creates a nonjudgmental space where people can explore values, build self-esteem, and find the direction that feels right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using practical exercises and skill-building, CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and problematic patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tkeyah collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can engage in treatment when and where it works for them. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to tailor their work to each person’s routine and access needs.
