Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lauren Sletta draws from several established approaches to meet each client's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection, which can be useful for clients working on attachment issues, relationship challenges, or healing from relational trauma. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathy, respect, and unconditional positive regard so clients can lead the pace and direction of their own healing; this approach supports people seeking acceptance and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lauren collaborates with each client to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure care fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or another convenient location while working with a licensed professional.
