Therapeutic approaches used online and in session
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and early bonds. It can help people understand why they react certain ways with partners and family and work toward more secure connections.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful routines that get in the way of daily life.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice the present moment and reduce stress reactions. These practices can be used between sessions to manage strong emotions and build steadiness over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which ideas to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
