Therapeutic approaches available through online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and expectations in adult connections. It helps clients identify attachment needs and build more secure ways of relating to partners and family members.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and reshaping interaction patterns in relationships by accessing and expressing underlying emotions. It is often used for couples work and for individuals aiming to improve emotional connection and responsiveness.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to set the pace and focus for their own growth. This approach supports people working through grief, life transitions, and parenting challenges.
